The platform

Six services that cover the full RTL lifecycle.

Expert engineering, AI-assisted analysis, and remote FPGA infrastructure. Use one service on its own or chain them together, from a MATLAB algorithm through hardware you can drive over an API.

01 / CONVERT

Algorithm to RTL

MATLAB and C conversion

Your floating-point algorithm turned into synthesizable RTL, with the numerics proven rather than assumed.

  • MATLAB, C, and C++ input
  • Dynamic range analysis
  • Float to fixed-point conversion
  • Bit-accurate testbenches
See the conversion process →
02 / DESIGN

Custom FPGA Design

Engineering services

An experienced FPGA and ASIC design team you can bring onto your project, from a single block to a full implementation.

  • Architecture and microarchitecture
  • VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog RTL
  • Testbenches and test case suite
  • Synthesis and timing closure
See design services →
03 / REVIEW

RTL Review

AI-assisted, expert-verified

Submit your RTL and receive a detailed report covering the categories that actually cause re-spins and late-stage bugs. First 1,000 lines free.

  • Industry-standard linting tools
  • State-of-the-art AI analysis
  • Final review by a design expert
  • Detailed, actionable report
See what we check →
04 / VERIFY

RTL Verification

Coverage-driven verification

Plain unit-level testbenches driven to a coverage target you can defend in a sign-off review. No UVM, no framework to maintain.

  • 80% or 90% code coverage
  • Functional and assertion coverage
  • Verification plan and unit testbenches
  • Regression suite wired into CI
See coverage targets →
05 / RESCUE

Design Rescue

Escalation engineering

An existing design in trouble and a team that has already spent weeks on it. Send us something we can reproduce and we will find the cause.

  • Timing that will not close
  • Speed grade migration to cut cost
  • Size reduction to fit the part
  • CDC and intermittent failures
  • Paid assessment, credited against the fix
See what we take on →
06 / IMPLEMENT

RTL Pilot

Remote implementation platform

FPGA implementation and validation without maintaining local FPGA infrastructure. Upload RTL, get running hardware.

  • Hardware design, PCB, and SI analysis
  • Bring-up, validation, and automated builds
  • Remote FPGA access, available 24/7
  • API-based testing from your own CI

Pricing

Scoped to the service you need.

Four of the six services start free: a 1,000-line RTL review, a dynamic range analysis, a unit testbench at 70% coverage, or a full project scope, all with no card required. Beyond that, work is fixed-price by project size, and quoted where the scope cannot be known up front.

Expertise

Hands-on experience across the vendors you actually ship on.

Every engagement is backed by production FPGA and ASIC design work, not just tool output. We know where each toolchain lies to you and where the real risks hide.

Device families

AMD Xilinx Intel / Altera Lattice Microchip

Languages

VHDL Verilog SystemVerilog

Toolchains

Vivado Quartus Radiant Yosys
  • 01
    Design, not just review. We write production RTL ourselves, which is why our review findings come with a concrete fix rather than a rule number.
  • 02
    AI where it helps. AI analysis widens coverage across large codebases. A subject matter expert still signs off on every finding.
  • 03
    Real hardware in the loop. RTL Pilot closes the gap between "it synthesizes" and "it works on the board."
  • 04
    Vendor-neutral judgment. We tell you when a structure is fine on one family and a timing risk on another.
Where each service fits

Convert, design, review, verify, deploy, validate.

Six stages, six services, one handoff chain. Come in wherever your project is today.

CONVERT

Algorithm to RTL

MATLAB or C algorithm to fixed point to synthesizable RTL, with range analysis.

DESIGN

Custom FPGA Design

Architecture, interfaces, clocking, and production RTL with testbenches.

REVIEW

RTL Review

Linting, AI analysis, and expert verification across all eight categories.

VERIFY

RTL Verification

Unit testbenches and coverage closure to 80% or 90%, with a regression suite.

DEPLOY

RTL Pilot

Automated synthesis and place-and-route, then bitstream onto real hardware.

VALIDATE

RTL Pilot

Drive the running design over a remote API from your own code or CI.

Security

Your RTL is your IP. We treat it that way.

  • 1

    Non-permanent storage

    Uploaded files are deleted 30 days after your report is delivered. Ask at any point and we will delete them sooner.

  • 2

    Encrypted in transit and at rest

    All uploads travel over HTTPS and are encrypted in storage.

  • 3

    No AI training, no reuse

    Your source files are never used to train any model and never shared with any other customer.

  • 4

    Isolated build and hardware slots

    RTL Pilot builds run in isolated environments, and your bitstream is loaded onto hardware dedicated to your session.

  • 5

    Mutual NDA on request

    A confidentiality agreement is available for every engagement before you upload anything.

Your design represents months of engineering work. We don't keep it a day longer than we need to.

FAQ

Good to know.

Do I have to use all six services?

No. Each one stands alone. Plenty of customers only ever use RTL Review. Others hand us a MATLAB algorithm and take delivery of verified RTL. The services are built to chain together, not to be bundled.

What is the difference between RTL Review and RTL Verification?

Review reads your design and tells you what is wrong with it: CDC crossings, reset structure, timing risk, coding standards. Verification proves the design does what the specification says, by building a testbench and driving coverage to a target. Review is days and finds problems. Verification is weeks and produces the evidence a sign-off needs. Most teams want review first, because verifying a design with known structural defects wastes the effort.

Can you convert my MATLAB or C algorithm to RTL?

Yes, that is Algorithm to RTL. We take your floating-point model, profile it to find the real dynamic range of every internal signal, build a MATLAB fixed-point version from those measurements, then implement it as synthesizable RTL. You receive the range analysis, the fixed-point model, the RTL, and testbenches that prove the hardware matches your original algorithm.

How do you decide fixed-point word lengths?

By measurement, not margin. The floating-point reference is instrumented and run over your representative stimulus to record the actual minimum and maximum each signal reaches. Integer and fractional bits, guard bits, rounding mode, and saturation behavior all follow from that data, against an accuracy target you agree up front.

What languages and vendors do you support?

VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog, for designs targeting AMD Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice, and Microchip devices.

How is AI used, and does a human actually look at my design?

AI analysis broadens coverage across large codebases and catches patterns a linter misses. It does not have the final say. Every finding we report is verified by an FPGA and ASIC subject matter expert before it reaches you.

What happens to my files afterward?

Files are stored encrypted and deleted 30 days after delivery, or sooner if you ask. They are never used to train any model. See the Security section above.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. A confidentiality agreement is available for every engagement, before you upload anything.

Do I need my own FPGA board to use RTL Pilot?

No. That is the point of it. Builds run on our infrastructure and your bitstream is deployed to hosted FPGA hardware you reach over a remote API.
