Ashling’s TaaS model allows development of a comprehensive, sophisticated SDK tool suite tailored and optimized for your specific device.
The shifting, whispering sands of silicon never stay still as the market continues to move from general purpose chips to custom or semi-custom solutions which typically give maximum performance and power efficiency coupled with an optimum feature set tightly targeted at the end application. The trend is driven by demand for both smaller, low-power, edge-based devices and larger, more powerful systems such as AI based data centre SoCs. The availability of IP blocks like RISC-V & Arm CPUs, DPUs, DSPs, GPUs, NPUs and more capable EDA and SDK tools help accelerate custom chip development and support “shift left” letting software and hardware teams work in parallel.
Using off-the-shelf SDK tools will only allow your customers to scratch the surface of your device’s capabilities. To unlock your device’s full capabilities, you need a toolset tailored to take advantage of all the compelling unique features your device offers, whether these be AI acceleration, crypto-processors, custom instruction extensions, custom peripherals, multiple heterogeneous or homogeneous CPU cores, specific microarchitecture features, etc.
Ashling helps silicon teams bring custom chips to the market faster. Book an engineer-to-engineer call with Ashling to learn how TaaS can help you by emailing engineer@ashling.com .
