EE Times recently spotlighted InCore Semiconductors for its breakthrough SoC Generator—an automated platform that slashes the time to develop a complete, bootable system-on-chip from months to minutes.
Born out of the SHAKTI Processor project, InCore’s toolchain enables teams to go from specification to FPGA validation in under 10 minutes. The platform auto-generates RTL, integrates IPs, configures interconnects, builds a bootable software stack, and produces complete documentation—all from a single API. Unlike generative AI tools, InCore’s deterministic approach ensures 100% repeatability in silicon design—eliminating costly inconsistencies and integration rework.
“We’re not here to replace the EDA or IP ecosystem,” said CTO Neel Gala. “We’re here to accelerate it.” With support for third-party IP, a fully configurable NoC, and flexible licensing models, the SoC Generator bridges the gap between ideation and silicon—empowering startups and seasoned teams alike.
By removing redundant engineering loops and streamlining hardware-software co-design, InCore enables tighter collaboration between design, verification, and firmware teams. The platform has already proven itself on a 40nm test chip and is driving a 28nm tape-out next. From embedded to HPC-class designs, its architecture-agnostic APIs scale without rewrites, paving a fast, reliable path to silicon.
