Just over a year after it was formed to advance the adoption of RISC-V globally, Quintauris has now come out of its initial phase and has started to talk publicly about its plans. EE Times got a chance to catch up with Quintauris CEO, Alexander Kocher, this week at electronica 2024 in Germany to learn more about what the organization has been up to, and its plans for the next 12 months.

As a recap, the company was announced in December 2023 as a result of semiconductor industry players Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, Nordic Semiconductor ASA, NXP Semiconductors, and Qualcomm Technologies,and subsequently STMicroelectronics formally investing in and establishing Quintauris. Headquartered in Germany, its stated aim is to advance the adoption of RISC-V globally by enabling next-generation hardware development. 

The company said at the time that Quintauris’ aim was to be a single source to enable compatible RISC-V-based products, provide reference architectures, and help establish solutions to be widely used across various industries. The initial application focus will be automotive, but with an eventual expansion to include mobile and IoT.

So, what exactly does that mean and how will the company operate? In this video interview, Kocher addresses some of our questions, and highlights some elements of their roadmap over the next 12 months.
