Quintauris Explained
01
Semiconductor industry players Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP® Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., have come together to jointly invest in a company aimed at advancing the adoption of RISC-V globally by enabling next-generation hardware development. Formed in Germany, this company will aim to accelerate the commercialization of future products based on the open-source RISC-V architecture. The company will be a single source to enable compatible RISC-V based products, provide reference architectures, and help establish solutions widely used in the industry. Initial application focus will be automotive, but with an eventual expansion to include mobile and IoT.At its core, RISC-V encourages innovation, allowing any company to develop cutting-edge, customized hardware based on an open-source instruction set. Further adoption of the RISC-V technology will promote even more diversity in the electronics industry – reducing the barriers to entry for smaller and emergent firms and enabling increased scalability for established companies.
02
This EU-based company will aim to accelerate the commercialization of future products based on the open-source RISC-V architecture. The company will be a single source to enable compatible RISC-V based products, provide reference architectures, and help establish industry standards. Initial application focus will be automotive, but with an eventual expansion to include mobile and IoT.
03
RISC-V is an open-source chip architecture based on “Reduced Instruction Set Computer” (RISC) principles, originally developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley in 2010. The current RISC-V landscape is fragmented with available IP either not hardened for industrial use or only offered by suppliers based in North America or Asia.
