Arteris Acquires Semifore to Accelerate System-on-Chip Development
11 January 2023 - 12:45AM
Arteris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIP), a leading provider of system IP
which accelerates system-on-chip (SoC) creation, today announced
that it has completed the acquisition of Semifore, Inc., a leading
provider of hardware/software interface (HSI) technology. Semifore
is used to effectively design, verify, document and help in the
validation of the hardware-software integration that is essential
to every SoC. Semifore's technology is used by leading
semiconductor and system companies across automotive, consumer
electronics, communications, enterprise computing and other
applications.
“The SoC is not done until the software drivers run,” said
Richard Weber, founder and CEO of Semifore, Inc. "The combination
of Arteris and Semifore will provide the scale needed to further
deploy our register management technology for hardware-software
interface to benefit new and existing customers looking to
accelerate SoC designs.”
The addition of Semifore technologies and team expertise
augments Arteris system IP and IP deployment automation with
best-in-class register management products for effective software
control of the IP and SoC hardware. This provides a single-source
specification that auto-generates the SoC views needed across
hardware designs and hardware-dependent software development
including device drivers, firmware, verification and documentation.
The unified view and automation of this critical SoC integration
layer allow customers to accelerate hardware-software development
and reduce the risks of costly SoC redesigns.
“Hardware-software integration is a key part of SoC development
which our customers are trying to execute quickly and effectively,
leveraging best-in-class system IP and SoC integration automation,”
said K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris. "The addition
of Semifore will complement our network-on-chip interconnect IP and
expand our SoC solutions, addressing complex challenges that every
project team faces today."
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition
is not expected to be material to 2023 revenue or earnings.
