SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic
Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power
multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI
solutions, today announced that it has joined the Open Hardware
Group (OpenHW Group), an organization dedicated to facilitating
collaboration between developers of open source hardware and
software. By joining the OpenHW Group, QuickLogic brings to the
ecosystem its deep expertise of FPGA technology and its multiple
applications to low power MCU SoC integration. As part of its
contribution, QuickLogic's CTO, Dr. Tim
Saxe will co-chair the Hardware Task Group within the OpenHW
Group ecosystem.
The OpenHW Group co-hosts the Open Source Developer
Forum (OSDForum), a workshop which includes talks from
leading industry and academic experts. The next event, which
will be hosted virtually on September 15,
2020, is focused on IoT, Edge and Machine Learning
development leveraging open source
software and hardware building
blocks, and complements QuickLogic's own QuickLogic Open
Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative. QuickLogic's CEO,
Brian Faith, and CTO Dr. Saxe will
co-present a session at 7:15am PDT
entitled "ETHZ 'Arnold' Test Chip & the CORE-V MCU SoC
Project Proposal", based on work done at ETH Zurich, a highly
regarded public research university located in Switzerland.
"Open source hardware and software enable flexibility and
freedom. QuickLogic's QORC initiative is very well aligned with the
goals of the OpenHW Group to enable hardware and software
designers to collaborate in the development of
open-source cores, related IP, tools and software," said
Rick O'Connor, president and CEO of
the OpenHW Group.
"QuickLogic is the first Programmable Logic company to fully
embrace and actively contribute to open source FPGA tools," said
Brian Faith, QuickLogic's president
and CEO. "That philosophy, encapsulated in our QORC initiative,
makes us fully aligned with OpenHW Group's vision of making
hardware-based IP more accessible to the open source
community."
QuickLogic's alignment with the objectives of the OpenHW Group
extends beyond accessibility. The company's embedded FPGA
(eFPGA) technology enables a multitude of AI use cases as well as
time-to-market advantages for edge/endpoint IoT applications and
meshes well with the group's CORE-V MCU initiative.
