ST Joins Quintauris RISC-V Consortium

European RISC-V startup Quintauris has recently welcomed ST as a new shareholder, joining the original five shareholders: Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, Nordic Semiconductor ASA, NXP Semiconductors, and Qualcomm Technologies Inc. The company was founded in December 2023 with the goal of advancing the adoption of products based on RISC-V principles by promoting collaboration and avoiding fragmentation within the industry.

Quintauris aims to provide access to reference architectures and create cross-industry solutions to drive innovation in various sectors. Initially focusing on the automotive industry, the company plans to expand its offerings to include solutions for mobile and IoT applications. RISC-V, an open-standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) developed at the University of California, Berkeley in 2010, serves as the foundation for Quintauris' product development.

"ST's addition to our list of shareholders is a significant milestone for Quintauris," stated Alexander Kocher, the CEO of the startup. "By fostering collaboration among some of the largest semiconductor companies globally, we are dedicated to exploring and unlocking the full potential of RISC-V across all industries we aim to serve."

With ST on board, Quintauris is poised to leverage the expertise and resources of its shareholders to drive innovation and develop cutting-edge solutions based on RISC-V technology. The company's strategic focus on providing industry-specific applications and expanding into new sectors underscores its commitment to driving the widespread adoption of RISC-V principles.
