The Good Folk Series
The Good Folk Series (TGFS) is a growing family of trustworthy, generator-based and flexible hardware IP, created to offer reliable IP solutions tailored to exactly meet the system requirements. Each IP block is designed to integrate seamlessly into your project, reducing development effort and ensuring performance exactly where it matters most.
The innovative software-driven hardware IP is developed with state-of-the-art processes and tools and a strong focus on methodological competence and quality that are key elements of our company culture. Safety and security awareness at each step ensure operational integrity, full transparency and traceability throughout the IP life-cycle. High quality deliverables and concise documentation facilitate the IP integration into the target system.
The Good Folk Series Consists of 3 Building Blocks:
- The Good Cores (TGC): A family of flexible RISC-V processor cores
- Moonlight: A configurable and extendable subsystem, which complements TGC with memories, an interconnect infrastructure as well as various peripherals and controllers
- The Good Accelerator (TGA): A generator-based machine learning accelerator
The Good Cores (TGC)
The Good Cores (TGC) are a flexible, scalable family of RISC-V processor cores that give your SoC a tailored processing foundation. With configurable architectures, interfaces and optional features, TGC can be adapted to your exact performance, power and area requirements while remaining ready for integration and extension with custom capabilities.
Moonlight subsystem for RISC-V
Moonlight is a configurable, pre-integrated subsystem that gives your SoC a verified foundation for development. From boot and system management to memory, interconnects and peripherals, Moonlight can be tailored to your exact requirements and extended with custom IP.
What’s Next in The Good Folk Series?
The Good Accelerator for Edge AI/ML Applications
The Good Accelerator (TGA) is a flexible hardware IP block that offloads demanding deep neural network functions from the CPU, lowering power usage and freeing up processing capacity, ideal for Edge AI / Machine Learning applications. It is loosely coupled, so it can be combined with any processor. It supports both standalone and joint use with other components of The Good Folk Series. Using a generator-based approach, TGA creates customized hardware models that match specific applications, making it easier to optimize both the ML model and the hardware together. This allows you to build AI-enabled SoCs that deliver high performance without draining your power budget.
