RISC-V based products provider, Quintauris, is expanding the technology ecosystem for the next generation of industrial RISC-V platforms through collaborations. These are expected to strengthen the software, processor IP, development tools and simulation capabilities, laying the foundation for interoperable embedded and automotive systems. The collaborations announced to date will strategically strengthen the Quintauris ecosystem across the entire technology stack.
Through its collaboration with Elektrobit, Quintauris has enhanced the software layer of its ecosystem. This partnership provides extensive expertise for developing open platforms for software-defined vehicles. This allows OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to integrate RISC-V-based architectures more efficiently into next-generation vehicle platforms.
At the hardware level, the collaboration with Nuclei System Technology expands the portfolio to include high-performance RISC-V processor cores for real-time and automotive applications. Integrating these cores into the RT-Europa platform provides additional options for standardised, interoperable system architectures.
Quintauris has also improved its development environment by collaborating with Ashling to integrate advanced debugging and development tools that support engineers throughout the entire software lifecycle, from initial implementation through to system validation.
This approach is further strengthened by the introduction of the EM-Altair Profile Specification. This defines a standardised RISC-V execution environment for microcontroller-class embedded systems, providing the basis for long-term binary compatibility across different implementations. By specifying mandatory ISA extensions, privilege models, and system-level assumptions, the EM-Altair profile reduces fragmentation across the embedded RISC-V ecosystem and simplifies the development of portable software.
The collaborations extend Quintauris’s existing platform activities and demonstrate the step-by-step development of an open industrial ecosystem. Rather than relying on isolated point solutions, Quintauris is creating an integrated technology stack that supports developers with everything from processor architecture and software toolchains through to simulation and system validation.
“Interoperability does not happen by itself. It is the result of common standards, close collaboration and an ecosystem in which complementary technologies work together seamlessly. Our goal is to establish exactly this foundation for the industrial adoption of RISC-V,” said Pedro Lopez, CEO of Quintauris.
