This webinar is presented in partnership between Rise Design Automation and SemiWiki.
Rise Design Automation delivers dramatic design and verification productivity with a unique combination of raised design abstraction, a comprehensive high-level toolchain, and a seamlessly integrated generative AI solution. Built with industry-first high-level agents and easily deployable pretrained language models, Rise translates natural-language intent into human-readable, modifiable, and verifiable high-level design code—reducing manual effort and accelerating adoption.
This technical webinar will be a combination of presentation and live demonstration.
DVCon 2025 was unquestionably a forum for pulling out all the stops in AI-based (RTL) design and verification, particularly around generative AI and agentic methods. I heard three product pitches and a keynote and have been told that every AI talk was standing room only. A pitch from Rise-DA particularly appealed to me because they have clearly taken care to balance intelligently between the promise of AI, the pros and cons of abstraction and the real dynamics of introducing new methods into established and proven flows and training.

Badru Agarwala is the CEO and Co-Founder of Rise Design Automation (RDA), an EDA startup with a mission to drive a fundamental shift-left in semiconductor design, verification, and implementation by raising abstraction beyond RTL With over 40 years of experience in EDA, Badru served as General Manager of the CSD division at…
The Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry is a mature industry, but it’s also one that is constantly changing. Each process node and packaging technology advancement places new demands and constraints on existing tools. In addition, changing design problems and paradigms transform how design teams operate, and the goals they target.
High-level design techniques and automation tools to address the limitations of traditional RTL, reduce verification times, improve performance, and manage growing design complexity—integrating seamlessly.
Be among the first to see how Generative AI is advancing hardware design workflows, providing solutions that reduce complexity and enable better results without steep learning curves. Witness how these tools offer immediate, practical benefits for real-world use cases.
Introduction video – Rise Design Automation is an exciting new EDA startup with a mission to raise the level of abstraction beyond RTL and change the way that hardware design and verification is done for decades to come.
