Establishing a brand new firm to drive RISC-V ecosystem and {hardware} growth

Semiconductor trade gamers Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Applied sciences AG, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP® Semiconductors, and Qualcomm Applied sciences, Inc., have come collectively to collectively put money into an organization aimed toward advancing the adoption of RISC-V globally by enabling next-generation {hardware} growth.

Shaped in Germany, this firm will intention to speed up the commercialization of future merchandise based mostly on the open-source RISC-V structure. The corporate will likely be a single supply to allow appropriate RISC-V-based merchandise, present reference architectures, and assist set up options broadly used within the trade. The preliminary utility focus will likely be automotive however with an eventual growth to incorporate cell and IoT.

At its core, RISC-V encourages innovation, permitting any firm to develop cutting-edge, custom-made {hardware} based mostly on an open-source instruction set. Additional adoption of the RISC-V expertise will promote much more variety within the electronics trade – decreasing the limitations to entry for smaller and emergent firms and enabling elevated scalability for established firms.
