Dual-issue Linux-capable RISC-V core

The A730 is a dual-issue, in-order, 64-bit application processor capable of running Linux.

Overview

The A730 is a dual-issue, in-order, 64-bit application processor capable of running Linux. The core is compatible with the RISC-V RVA22 profile. The core includes a hardware floating point unit, L1 data & instruction caches, an L2 cache and an MMU. Tessent trace is available as an option.
The core supports wait for interrupt (WFI) and non-maskable interrupts (NMI) and works with a platform-level interrupt controller (PLIC). It has an AXI-5 128-bit bus interface.
The A730 core has a wide range of configuration options.

Codasip announces strategic pivot and divestiture

Codasip today announced a strategic evolution of its business to focus on the rapidly growing need for cyber-resilient semiconductor architectures and semiconductor System on Chips (SoCs). In conjunction with this change, Codasip is also announcing the divesture of its low-end RISC-V processor design business to a public US semiconductor company.

Codasip board initiates an expedited process to sell the company

Codasip, the European RISC-V leader, announced today an accelerated process to sell the company. Codasip has been awarded several grants and equity funding from various bodies of the European Union (EU) and national authorities totaling over €119 million, most of which is still to be received by the company in due course. In addition, the company estimates the follow-on phases of the grants will total a further €210 million for a total of €329 million, and the company is part of new consortiums and projects that can bring in an additional €51 million or more in future financing.
