Company profile
researched Aug 2026BOS Semiconductors (BOS, short for "Best Of Silicon") is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, that designs chips for automotive, advanced mobility and robotics computing. Its product line is the Eagle chiplet system-on-chip family, aimed at advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI).
The first Eagle product, Eagle-N, is an automotive AI accelerator rated at 250 INT8 TOPS (dense) that connects to host application processors over PCIe Gen5 or, in chiplet configurations, UCIe. It implements Tensix NPU cores licensed from Tenstorrent, together with Arm Cortex-A53 CPUs, LPDDR5X memory, USB 2.0, a security engine, ASIL-B and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 targets, programmable RISC-V cores, structured sparsity support, and four-way physical partitioning for virtualization; the company cites 2x TOPS/$ and 1.5x TOPS/W versus existing solutions and targets mass production in 2027. Eagle-A is a planned standalone one-chip ADAS SoC at 150 TOPS (dense) combining CPU, GPU, NPU, ISP, DSP and camera, LiDAR and radar sensing interfaces, with UCIe and PCIe for compatibility with Eagle-N and third-party accelerators, targeted for mass production in 2028. BOS also lists automotive and physical-AI co-processor devices N1501 (250 INT8 TOPS dense) and N1301 (190 INT8 TOPS dense) built around a dedicated processing engine, Arm Cortex-A53, PCIe, USB, SD/eMMC, OSPI, low-speed IO and LPDDR5X. Multi-chip Eagle combinations are marketed at up to 800 TOPS (two Eagle-N plus two Eagle-A) for ADAS, IVI, LLM and VLM workloads.
Alongside silicon, BOS offers a developer software stack including an AI Model SDK covering model preparation, compilation and deployment across host systems and the Eagle-N accelerator, supporting conversational agents, perception models and autonomous systems.
Business model
Fabless semiconductor supplier: BOS designs automotive and robotics SoCs and AI accelerator chiplets, licensing third-party IP such as Tenstorrent NPU cores and Arm CPUs, and supports customers with an AI Model SDK and developer tooling. Products are positioned for volume automotive programs, with Eagle-N mass production targeted for 2027 and Eagle-A for 2028.
Traction
The company reports 220+ engineers and a leadership team with prior experience at Apple, Tesla, Samsung and Baidu. It has obtained ISO 26262 functional safety management certification, secured a Series A round reported at roughly $60.2-67 million in February 2026, and is preparing Eagle-N for mass production in 2027 while expanding its global sales network.
Latest developments
In February 2026 BOS announced a Series A round of roughly $60.2-67 million to fund mass production, global sales expansion and further mobility AI chip development. The company unveiled Eagle-N with Tenstorrent, obtained ISO 26262 functional safety management certification, planned an AI Box demonstration at CES 2026, and presented the chiplet-based Eagle-N accelerator at Hot Chips 2026.

Market position
BOS positions Eagle-N as the industry's first automotive AI accelerator chiplet SoC and was named in EE Times' Silicon 100 list of startups worth watching in 2025. S&P Global's AutoTech Insight characterized its Series A as a significant raise for an early-stage South Korean startup.
BOS emphasizes an open chiplet approach that lets its AI accelerator attach to existing IVI and ADAS host processors via PCIe or be integrated with third-party and BOS SoCs via UCIe, rather than requiring a single monolithic platform. It claims 2x TOPS/$ and 1.5x TOPS/W versus existing solutions, uses Tenstorrent NPU cores with programmable RISC-V cores for future model flexibility, and supports partitioning for virtualization.
Technology
The Eagle family uses an open chiplet architecture with UCIe die-to-die and PCIe Gen5 host interfaces, allowing accelerators to be combined with BOS or third-party SoCs. Eagle-N pairs Tenstorrent Tensix NPU cores (250 INT8 TOPS dense; TF32, FP16, BF16, FP8, MXFP, MXINT and INT8 data formats, structured sparsity) with programmable RISC-V cores, Arm Cortex-A53 CPUs, LPDDR5X, USB 2.0, a security engine and four-way physical partitioning with interference isolation for virtualization, targeting ASIL-B and AEC-Q100 Grade 2. Eagle-A integrates CPU, GPU, NPU, ISP, DSP and camera/LiDAR/radar fusion sensing interfaces. The N1501 and N1301 co-processors use a dedicated processing engine with PCIe and LPDDR5X interfaces plus security, safety and peripheral functions for automotive use.
Go-to-market
Direct engagement with automotive and mobility customers through a regional business development and sales organization covering the U.S., EMEA and China, supported by a developer program and SDK. The company uses industry events for visibility, including a planned AI Box demonstration at CES 2026 and a technical presentation of Eagle-N at Hot Chips 2026.
Automotive OEMs and tier suppliers building ADAS domain controllers and in-vehicle infotainment systems, plus makers of advanced mobility platforms, robots and other physical-AI and edge devices.
Geography
Headquarters at the I&C Building, Pangyo-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, with an R&D center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Affiliated entities Quantaline and Quantaline Vietnam are listed at Pangyo, Seongnam and in Ho Chi Minh City. Sales leadership is assigned to the United States, EMEA and China.
Risks & controversies
Publicly reported figures for the Series A differ between sources, with the company citing approximately $67 million and S&P Global's AutoTech Insight reporting approximately $60.2 million (87 billion/87 million won). Flagship products are pre-production, with Eagle-N mass production targeted for 2027 and Eagle-A for 2028, and Eagle-A specifications not yet published.
