Codasip

Codasip is a semiconductor IP company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, with R&D rooted in RISC-V processor research from Brno University of Technology. It was built to give chipmakers customizable, licensable processor cores and, more recently, to address growing memory-safety vulnerability risk in mission-critical chips.

The company licenses RISC-V processor core IP spanning application, embedded and automotive variants, its CodAL processor description language and Codasip Studio design environment, and its CHERI-based Codasip Prime platform for building cyber-resilient SoCs. In 2026 Codasip divested its lower-end RISC-V core business to concentrate on CHERI-secured processors and SoCs for defense, aerospace, automotive and critical-infrastructure customers.

1. RISC-V core IP: application, embedded and automotive processor cores licensed to chipmakers.

2. CodAL: proprietary processor description language for defining and customizing core architectures.

3. Codasip Studio: design environment for exploring and verifying custom processor implementations.

4. Codasip Prime: CHERI-based platform for building memory-safe, cyber-resilient SoCs.

5. Functional safety: ASIL-D certified processor IP for automotive programs.

6. Target sectors: critical infrastructure, defense, avionics and industrial customers.
