Development lifecycle

Open tooling from architecture to physical design

ARCHITECTURE AND SOC INTEGRATION

Speed up and tighten complex SoC design by automating top-level module integration and interconnect generation.

Establish and enforce guardrails for human and agentic teams.

Topwrap

Antmicro's open source framework for design aggregation, making it easy to express and visualize top-level design hierarchies and generate structured, traceable design collateral.

Our team can integrate Topwrap into your flow to automate the tedious wiring of custom and third‑party IP blocks, enabling faster bootstrapping and structured tracking of the entire design process.

SIMULATION FOR TEST & DV

Scalable RTL (co-)simulation for faster and more flexible development and verification.

Antmicro extends, adapts and improves Verilator, the industry's leading open source RTL simulator, to handle massive designs and complex verification workflows.

Renode HW/SW co-simulation for complex IP

Enabling system-level verification in a software context with Renode, we facilitate seamless HW/SW co-simulation for complex IP, demonstrated by our partnership with Google around the Coral NPU ecosystem.

FAULTERGEIST

Fault injection and resilience testing with Faultergeist

We built Faultergeist to inject bit-flips into Verilator simulations, testing SEU vulnerability and validating fault protection for aerospace and critical applications.

SYNTHESIS AND PHYSICAL DESIGN

Get fast PPA feedback and unlimited design space exploration capabilities with OpenROAD

OpenROAD

Antmicro extends the open source OpenROAD toolchain to enable new, AI-first use cases.

We build flows to help teams identify bottlenecks early in the design process, enabling actionable optimizations before physical layout is finalized.

MAINTENANCE AND DEBUGGING

Unlock AI-assisted triaging, debug and optimization loops with automated analysis and profiling tools.

Enable new workflows, eliminate bottlenecks and avoid vendor lock‑in with open source tools for faster and more flexible silicon design.
