Intel Capital has exited LegUp Computing, a provider of field-programmable gate array programming technology, in an acquisition by Microchip.

LegUp Computing, a Canada-based developer of gate array accelerator technology, has been acquired by chip microcontroller supplier Microchip Technology for an undisclosed sum, allowing chipmaker Intel to exit.

Founded in 2015, LegUp has created a cloud-based tool that automatically compiles software code for applications that operate flexible computing circuits known as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

The company’s techology will now be offered to software engineers building on Microchip’s FPGA and system-on-a-chip (SoC) development frameworks, in an attempt to ease the…
