Andes Technology Corporation and XtremeEDA Corporation Cooperate to Develop Joint Design Wins on Emerging RISC-V DesignsHSINCHU, Taiwan and San Jose, California , May 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andes Technology Corporation, the leading Asia-based suppliers of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores, and XtremeEDA Corporation, a leading North American provider of front-end design and verification services for the semiconductor industry, today announced they will cooperate to develop joint design wins to benefit both companies. Andes will provide Its low-power, high performance CPU cores, including the first RISC-V core from a public semiconductor company; XtremeEDA will provide experienced front-end design and verification services, thus collectively reducing designers’ time to market. “We are excited to be joining forces with XtremeEDA to provide our customers CPU IP and design resources they may not possess internally,” said Emerson Hsiao, Senior Vice President of Sales and Technical Service at Andes Technology Corporation USA. “In today's embedded systems-on-chip (SoC) market, an increasingly important variable in how chips are designed and produced is time to market. A new start-up may have a great architectural specification but may lack the team, design tools, and IP needed to convert the design idea into a chip. In addition, many cannot afford the high cost for design verification. Together XtremeEDA and Andes can offer its customers access to a design and verification team and a library of IP to support the Andes core that will provide reduced time to market for their unique design.” “Andes represents a great supplement to our own sales and marketing effort,” said Chris Raeuber, XtremeEDA’s Director of Engineeing, US. “As a major CPU core supplier in Asia, Andes has great market insight into the new designs going on in that region and they are bringing that knowledge to the U.S. They are identifying start-ups with unique new SoCs targeting emerging markets that need front-end and verification engineering resources, such as what we offer. Together, we provide our mutual customers a means of rapidly getting their designs into silicon.” Complementary Strengths About XtremeEDA Corp.
