GOWIN Semiconductor Licenses Andes Technology RISC-V CPU Core For Its Arora GW-2A FPGA Family Products

Andes Technology Provides GOWIN Standard RISC-V CPU ISA, Plus Enhanced Features for Performance, Reliability, Program Code Size and Power Consumption

HSINCHU, TAIWAN & GUANGZHOU, CHINA – October 01, 2018—Andes Technology Corporation, the leading Asia-based supplier of small gate count, low-power and high performance 32/64-bit embedded CPU cores, announces that GOWIN Semiconductor has licensed Andes Technology’s RISC-V CPU core for its Arora® GW-2A FPGA family of products. Besides the standard RISC-V ISA, the Andes Technology RISC-V CPU comes with additional features to improve performance, reliability, program code size and power consumption reduction.

“Adding the Andes RISC-V to our Arora Family of FPGA’s provides fast time to market for engineers wanting to implement a design using the RISC-V CPU,” said Scott Casper, Director of Sales for GOWIN’s Americas Region. “The CPU core can be implemented in a relatively small number of FPGA logic elements thus providing additional capacity for the engineer’s logic design. Having Andes as a partner has enabled GOWIN to quickly supply customer demand for this popular CPU ISA.”

“We are thrilled that GOWIN has chosen the Andes RISC-V CPU core for their Arora® GW-2A FPGA Family products,” said Vivien Lin, Vice President of Sales Andes Technology USA Corp. “Demand for the Andes RISC-V CPU offering is growing and having GOWIN offering an FPGA version combined with the Andes RISC-V Eclipse-based development environment provides designers a fast track to develop their offering.”
