At Avecas, our Silicon Bring-Up & Debug services get your first silicon working faster. Avecas bring-up engineers work hands-on with your hardware team to power up, validate, and debug silicon systematically.
Power & Clock Infrastructure First
We validate every power rail, PMIC configuration, PLL lock, and clock distribution before any functional test—preventing damage and saving time.
Firmware-Aware Hardware Debug
Our team spans hardware and firmware, triaging boot hangs, DDR calibration failures, and peripheral init issues across the HW/SW boundary.
Signal Integrity at Bring-Up
VNA, oscilloscope, and protocol analyser measurements early to identify SI/PI issues before they impact production yield.
Feel free to email us on below email address, we will be happy to answer your queries.
Structured bring-up and on-chip debug shorten time-to-first-boot for your first silicon.
Our bring-up capabilities cover board power-up, clock validation, JTAG/scan chain, firmware boot, DDR init, and signal integrity—all under one expert team.
Silicon bring-up is the disciplined process of taking first silicon from power-on to full functionality. Avecas bring-up engineers work hands-on with your hardware and firmware teams to shorten time-to-first-boot and remove risk from the critical first weeks after tape-out return, when schedule pressure is highest.
We validate power infrastructure before anything else: every power rail and sequencing order, PMIC register configuration, brownout and overvoltage protection, crystal oscillator start-up, PLL lock and frequency accuracy, and clock-tree distribution. Getting power and clocks right first prevents device damage and avoids days of misdirected debug downstream.
Our team spans hardware and firmware, triaging boot hangs, DDR training and calibration failures, cache and reset issues, and peripheral driver problems across the HW/SW boundary. JTAG boundary scan, scan-chain continuity, and IDCODE checks validate the debug infrastructure that the rest of bring-up depends on.
We apply VNA, high-bandwidth oscilloscope, and protocol-analyser measurements early to catch SI/PI issues on power-delivery networks and high-speed nets, and hand over a documented debug trail and known-good configuration your team can build on.
The outcome is working silicon, faster, with the confidence to move into validation and production.
We also establish golden boot configurations, reference register dumps, and a reproducible bring-up checklist, so subsequent boards and revisions reach functional state in hours rather than weeks and your team retains a durable knowledge base.
Silicon bring-up questions are common when planning first silicon schedules. Here are answers to the most frequent questions about board bring-up and debug.
