Codasip (abrev. CO-Design Application-Specific Instruction-set Processor) is a processor technology company enabling system-on-chip developers to differentiate their products. The company specializes in RISC-V processor technologies and offers Codasip Studio, a tool suite for processor design using the CodAL architecture description language.

Codasip has claimed that there are more than 2 billion processor cores that have been produced using their technology.[1] [2]

History

In 2014, Codasip was founded on the basis of Karel Masařík's PhD work on a distinct hardware/software co-design technology, after a decade of intensive research at Brno University of Technology.

In the same year, the company secured a seed funding round of $4.5M, led by Credo Ventures.[3]

In 2015, Codasip co-founded RISC-V International (initially known as RISC-V Foundation) and also launched the first commercial RISC-V processor IP on the market.[4]

In 2017, Codasip unveiled its first 64-bit RISC-V core.[5]

In 2018, Codasip completed a Series A investment round, raising $10M from private equity firms.[6] [7]

In 2020, the company received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 program.[8]

In the same year, Codasip opened a strategic design center in France[9] followed by another in the United Kingdom in 2021.[10] That same year, Ron Black assumed the role of CEO.[11] [12]

In 2022, Codasip established design centers in Greece and Spain and[13] [14] acquired Cerberus, a UK-based firm known for its expertise in crafting secure IoT products.[15] [16]

In June, Codasip was awarded the "Best in Show" in the Processors & IP category at the Embedded World 2022 event.[17]

In December, Codasip received additional financial support from the European Innovation Council, a segment of the European Union.[18]

Also, the company was featured in EE Times' esteemed "Silicon 100" list consecutively in 2022[19] and 2023.[20] [21] [22]
