“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

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.
