Arteris, a provider of system IP which accelerates system-on-chip (SoC) creation, and MIPS, a provider of efficient and configurable compute core IP, are partnering to provide a pre-verified reference platform to support mutual customers. The creation of this pre-verified reference platform is designed to shorten development cycles and reduce risk for RISC-V-based chip designs for automotive, enterprise computing and edge AI applications.

MIPS develops high-performance RISC-V CPU IP for AI, automotive and general-purpose computing. By pre-integrating Arteris network-on-chip IP, including Ncore cache coherent NoC IP and FlexNoC IP with the MIPS P8700 processor core clusters, the two IP providers demonstrate the interoperability and performance of the joint solution. Customers can leverage the silicon-proven solution demonstrated by a pre-verified reference platform supported by both Arteris and MIPS.

Arteris network-on-chip IP technology provides on-die or on-chip connectivity, supporting both homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, and can simultaneously handle AMBA ACE and CHI protocols. This flexibility and configurability facilitate quick development and optimized RISC-V-based SoCs.
