Overview
He sits on its board of directors alongside Didier Martiny and Olivier Rasmont, with all three directors registered in September 2023. The company he heads carries a legal history dating to April 2005, when its Belgian enterprise number was first registered, and the Byte Paradigm name, attached to a discontinued line of instruments for embedded system verification that included SPI Storm and LOG Storm, continues as a trademark and trade name of Exostiv Labs.
Frederic Leens is the CEO of Exostiv Labs, a company in Wavre that builds electronic design automation tools for FPGA debugging, validation, and testing. Its presence spans USA/Canada, Europe, Israel, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and China. Leens is a registered director of the company together with Didier Martiny and Olivier Rasmont. The legal entity behind Exostiv Labs, Belgian enterprise number 0873.279.914, was started on 19 April 2005 and has had the form of a private limited company since September 2023. Byte Paradigm, a Wavre supplier of software-controlled instruments for embedded system verification and debugging whose products included SPI Storm and LOG Storm, became a trademark and trade name of Exostiv Labs in November 2018 after its product line was discontinued earlier that year. In January 2025 the company announced support for AMD Versal Adaptive SoC devices, including the Versal Premium VP1902, on the Exostiv and Exostiv Blade platforms, covering devices running up to 800 MHz and transceiver connections up to 28.125 Gbps. Exostiv Labs holds an AMD Partner Network badge at the Embedded Silver level.

- At FPGA Horizons in London (October 6th-7th), I'll have to privilege to talk about what we are currently working on... (teaser) - How to leverage FPGA hardware for automated verification / validation thanks to CI and advanced AI analysis. Come on over to discuss how AI changes the picture for anyone working with FPGA and interested to improve product quality and productivity! 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/egTNp-sJ
- If work with FPGAs and if you have not attended FPGA Horizons yet, don't wait! This is definitely *THE* hot conference that you have to add to your agenda. It is in beautiful London, October 6th-7th and is full of interesting talks and exciting demos! According to me, the conference about FPGA that we have all missed for long! 🚀 🚀🚀 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/egTNp-sJ
- 1st day at #63DAC in Long Beach. Good turnout. Great discussions. The best discussion about why you need a board-agnostic visibility layer for your ASIC and SoC prototype is at booth #1058. Come see us!
- WorldPremiere. Next week, we'll be at #DAC26. We'll introduce Exostiv Maestro - which works with Exostiv Blade, our board-agnostic visibility infrastructure tool that lets you capture massive live data from FPGA prototypes. Exostiv Maestro interfaces Exostiv Blade and runs captures from multiple clock domains, collects massive data synchronously in their respective clock domains and automatically synchronizes them based on a common reference time base. Capture from any clock domain your ASIC, SoC or IP partitioned onto
- Yesterday, we were in HsinChu, Taiwan for the GTI annual seminar. Great attendance, we had lots of interesting discussions with the local fabless ASIC and IP design community. Congratulations to the GTI team for organizing this great event! https://lnkd.in/enzqPWSq
- Want to discuss this? I'll be at #DAC2026 end of the month in Long Beach, CA. Meet me at booth #1058 - https://lnkd.in/eARh7uG
