History

edit

In 2014, Codasip was founded on the basis of Karel Masařík's PhD work on a distinct hardware/software co-design technology, after a decade of intensive research at Brno University of Technology.

In the same year, the company secured a seed funding round of $4.5M, led by Credo Ventures.[4]

In 2015, Codasip co-founded RISC-V International (initially known as RISC-V Foundation) and also launched the first commercial RISC-V processor IP on the market.[5]

In 2017, Codasip unveiled its first 64-bit RISC-V core.[6]

In 2018, Codasip completed a Series A investment round, raising $10M from private equity firms.[7][8]

In 2020, the company received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 program.[9]

In the same year, Codasip opened a strategic design center in France[10] followed by another in the United Kingdom in 2021.[11] That same year, Ron Black assumed the role of CEO.[12][13]

In 2022, Codasip established design centers in Greece and Spain and[14][15] acquired Cerberus, a UK-based firm known for its expertise in crafting secure IoT products.[3][16][17]

In June, Codasip was awarded the "Best in Show" in the Processors & IP category at the Embedded World 2022 event.[18]

In December, Codasip received additional financial support from the European Innovation Council, a segment of the European Union.[19]

Also, the company was featured in EE Times' esteemed "Silicon 100" list consecutively in 2022[18][20] and 2023.[21][22][23]
