SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 /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 the introduction of its new Qomu
development kit, a tiny form factor Arm® Cortex®-M4F MCU + eFPGA
combination that fits into a USB Type A port. Optimized for the
QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative, the kit
is supported by a wide variety of vendor-supported open source
development tools, including Zephyr, FreeRTOS, SymbiFlow and
Renode, which broadens access and enables designers to develop
applications virtually anywhere.

The Qomu development kit contains QuickLogic's EOS S3 MCU +
eFPGA SoC, which enables an incredible amount of processing
capability for such a tiny development kit. The MCU enables
seamless software development while the embedded FPGA (eFPGA) can
be used to accelerate or offload algorithms from the MCU, or to
simply implement custom IP or provide glue logic. While the kit can
implement a wide range of functionality for a broad set of market
segments, it is especially well-suited to edge IoT applications –
especially those requiring ultra-low power consumption and
artificial intelligence or machine learning capabilities.
QuickLogic's QORC initiative has led to a completely open
source, vendor supported development tool environment for the Qomu
development kit. Open source development tools include SymbiFlow
synthesis, place & route, and bitstream generation. Many
example applications and gateware are readily available for free.
In addition to standard Verilog support with SymbiFlow, Qomu
supports nMigen for a Python-to-FPGA design flow. Additional
open source tools include Zephyr, FreeRTOS and Renode.
"The Qomu dev kit is a milestone for the industry in many ways.
It packs an incredible amount of functionality in the size of a USB
port," said Mao Wang, senior
director of marketing at QuickLogic. "More importantly, this open
source dev kit was designed in close collaboration with one of the
most respected designers in the open source community, Sean Cross."

The Qomu development kit is available on
an exclusive basis through Crowd Supply. To purchase the kit,
