“Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.”
James Cash Penney.

In the last quarter, we’ve upskilled engineers, inspired VLSI aspirants, fulfilled their dreams, launched new courses for the industry, and much more. Here’s a summary of what we’ve been up to recently:

New Launch: RISC-V Processor IP Design & Verification Courses

RISC-V Processor

The RISC-V Processor is becoming very popular and influential, like the open-source operating system Linux, as it’s based on the RISC-V open ISA [Instruction Set Architecture], which is open and license-free. In this AI era, chip designers are empowered with open computing solutions like RISC-V Open ISA to design powerful AI chips using various processors and accelerators. So, it’s the right time for chip designers and VLSI enthusiasts to explore the RISC-V Open ISA and learn how to design and verify a RISC-V processor efficiently. Our RISC-V Processor IP Design & RISC-V Processor IP Verification courses will cover the RISC-V aspects ISA, RISC-V privilege Levels, RISC-V Extensions, Interrupts, RISC-V Debug and Pipelined architecture, and more. These courses will also cover a pilot project to give an enhanced hands-on experience.
