lowRISC to use Real Intent tools for OpenTitan Project
Open source silicon developer lowRISC is to use EDA tools from Real Intent for its OpenTitan project.
lowRISC will use the Real Intent Ascent Lint, Meridian CDC, and Meridian RDC static sign-off tools for the OpenTitan open-source project to build a root of trust to boost the security of chips.
lowRISC is a non-profit company that, with the support of its partners, provides a neutral home to develop and maintain open-source silicon designs, tools, and firmware. Their in-house full-stack engineering capabilities enable the hosting and management of high-quality collaborative projects such as the OpenTitan silicon root of trust, the Ibex 32-bit RISC-V core and the Sunburst project.
Partnership formed to support OpenTitan hardware root of trust
“Real Intent’s static sign-off tools have been a fundamental part of the design and verification process for the OpenTitan project,” said Gavin Ferris, CEO at lowRISC. “Following recommendations from its partners, lowRISC chose Real Intent’s Ascent Lint, Meridian CDC, and Meridian RDC based on the clear, low noise reporting, and excellent customer support across their tool suite.”
Ascent Lint is integrated into the OpenTitan project’s development flow. Engineers who are working with OpenTitan IP can benefit from the pre-defined Ascent Lint setup, which conforms to the lowRISC Verilog Coding Style guide and has all files necessary for running Ascent Lint – including the run script.
“Real Intent is pleased that lowRISC is leveraging our static sign-off solutions to realize productivity gains for an exciting application such as OpenTitan – the first open-source silicon project to reach commercial availability,” said Prakash Narain, Real Intent president and CEO.
Real Intent provides intent-driven static sign-off EDA software tools to accelerate early functional verification and advanced sign-off of digital designs. Its static sign-off product capabilities include multi-mode clock domain crossing; multi-scenario reset domain crossing; multi-test mode DFT; multi-policy RTL linting, connectivity & glitch, design initialization, and formal linting. Real Intent customers include more than 50 major semiconductor and systems companies.
