We are a world leader in embedded computer systems for harsh environments, with footprints in many parts of the solar system.
We provide the full ecosystem to support digital hardware design for mission critical System-on-a-Chip solutions. The IP cores and development tools support processors based on the SPARC and RISC-V architectures. In addition to this, a number of standard components are available.
RISC-V Processor Model - NOEL-V
The NOEL-V is a synthesizable VHDL model of a processor that implements the open RISC-V architecture from the RISC-V International organization.
This is the first released model in the RISC-V product line of processors. Seven different configurations are now available for NOEL-V, ranging from a tiny 32-bit version to a 64-bit high performance version. NOEL-V complements the LEON line of processors.

Contract from Vinnova to Advance High Performance RISC-V Space Computing
We have been awarded a contract from Vinnova, a Swedish government agency dedicated to promoting innovation, to develop next generation RISC-V based space computing capabilities. The results from this development will allow future microprocessors to enable spacecraft control, create high performance payload processing and will feature timing isolation for software applications and prevent interference from other parts of the system. The new NOEL-V fault-tolerant, 64-bit processor core is based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture and builds upon our heritage with the SPARC/LEON architecture. It marks the newest addition to our trusted fault tolerant space computing product portfolio.

GR740 SBC and HPCB with GR716A presented at OBDP 2021
The "GR740 Single Board Computer" and "High-Performance Compute Board - a Fault-Tolerant Module for On-board Vision Processing" developments will be presented at the 2nd European Workshop on On-Board Data Processing (OBDP 2021), 14-17 June 2021. Both developments are done together with multiple partners in the frame of contracts with the European Space Agency. The GR740 SBC reference design is based on the rad-hard GR740 quad-core LEON4FT microprocessor, while the HPCB board features a state of the art low-power COTS AI chip and the rad-hard single-core LEON3FT GR716A microcontroller. Both boards also feature high-end FPGA devices to provide flexibility to the user.
