CSRCompiler
Check out our new product, Magillem Registers, making the most of Magillem 5 and CSRCompiler technologies to accelerate large and complex SoC designs through Hardware/Software Interface automation.
Streamline Hardware/Software Interface Foundation Creation with CSRCompiler and CSRSpec
Complex software algorithms must control a growing array of specialized processors and hardware accelerators to deliver a robust product. The hardware/software interface (HSI) technology enables the software to control this hardware, which forms the basis of the entire design project. The CSRCompiler™ system, in combination with the CSRSpec™ language, automates the creation of this foundation.
Build HSIs the Right Way With a Winning Methodology
CSRCompiler system and CSRSpec language form a complete register design solution for hardware, software, verification, and documentation.
This comprehensive solution allows teams to manage their designs collaboratively from a single source specification, ensuring the entire team has a complete, correct, up-to-date register design ecosystem.

We are redefining the deployment of inference at the edge with our highly efficient technology. These designs are highly complex, and the hardware and software interfaces are critical to performance and core functionality. Arteris CSRCompiler ensures the hardware and software interfaces function as expected, and that both the hardware and software teams can test interaction during chip development.
