Silicore Corporation provides a variety of System-on-Chip design services. These include code development, maintenence, training and consulting. Rapid prototyping with FPGA parts is a specialty. Silicore also maintains the public System-on-Chip designs that are listed below. These are made available on a no-fee basis under public licensing. That means that they can be freely used, modified and shared. Silicore can also modify these cores
8-BIT RISC Microcontroller
Now available under open source licensing! The Silicore SLC1657 is a VHDL 8-bit RISC Microcontroller Core for FPGA or ASIC. Create your own custom microcontroller on a single FPGA chip! This portable, synthesizable, microprocessor core leaves plenty of room in your FPGA for your own interfaces and I/O. Numerous software tools are available for the Silicore SLC1657. The core is software compatible with the industry standard PIC® microcontrollers, with a wide range of assembler, simulator, 'C' compilers and fuzzy logic tools. Best of all, it's available as free software under the GNU Lesser GPL license!

WISHBONE Interconnection Standard For System-on-Chip
NEWLY UPDATED REVISION 'B.3' NOW
AVAILABLE! The WISHBONE System-on-Chip (SoC) Interconnection
Architecture for Portable IP Cores makes IP core integration
easier. It defines a common, logical interface between IP cores.
This improves the portability and reliability of the system components,
and results in faster time-to-market for the end user. Fundamentally,
it's a microcomputer bus that is tailored for the needs of IC
system integration. The WISHBONE specification is a public domain
document and is available at no cost. Products may use this standard
without any royalty obligations. Complete libraries of WISHBONE
compatible systems and cores are also available under open, public
licensing. For more information see the WISHBONE
Service Center.
