About

SiliCore is a student-born engineering team in Türkiye building an open microcontroller SoC and accelerators on RISC-V. We design reusable IP (AXI-Lite peripherals, LDPC, DMA), verify with modern methods, and prove results on FPGA and open PDKs. Our near-term goals are a tape-out-ready MCU subsystem with clean docs and AI/ML-driven image-processing chips; long-term, we aim to make open silicon practical for startups and industry partners through innovative integration.
