FPGA design and verification

If your project requires high levels of integration and performance then an FPGA is probably the optimal solution. Starware Design has experience in using toolchains and devices from all the major FPGA providers. Starware Design design support can range from a bespoke IP block to a turnkey solution.
Services:

Architecture design
Hardware / software partitioning
RTL coding (VHDL and Verilog/SystemVerilog)
Verification (UVVM, Cocotb, co-simulation)
System On Chip (Zynq, Zynq MPSoC)
Design for Xilinx, Altera/Intel and Lattice FPGAs
Interfacing with PCIe, DDR memories, high speed ADCs, Gigabit Ethernet
