Problem
Hardware design and verification often involve complex, time-consuming processes, requiring significant infrastructure and specialized expertise. Traditional hardware development workflows lack the agility and automation found in modern software development, hindering rapid iteration and testing. Managing hardware labs and integrating continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for silicon development presents additional challenges.
Solution
Primitive offers a cloud-based platform designed to accelerate hardware development by integrating CI/CD principles into the silicon design process. The platform provides a streamlined environment for hardware management, enabling users to efficiently reserve, provision, and monitor their hardware labs. By leveraging industry-standard tools like Verilator, Cadence, and Synopsys, Primitive facilitates rapid iteration and testing of hardware designs. The platform's web-based waveform viewer simplifies debugging, while its CLI-first approach allows for local acceleration of hardware design tasks.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hardware engineers, verification teams, and organizations involved in silicon design and development seeking to improve their development velocity and efficiency.
