STMicroelectronics (ST) has officially joined Quintauris GmbH as the sixth major shareholder, alongside Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductors, and Qualcomm Technologies. Quintauris, established in December 2023 in Germany, was created to accelerate the adoption of the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). Initially announced in August by its founding members, the company aims to drive the commercialization of RISC-V-based products, starting with the automotive sector and later expanding into mobile and IoT.
Quintauris serves as a centralized resource for developing RISC-V-compatible products, providing reference architectures and promoting industry-wide solutions to prevent fragmentation and ensure broad adoption.
RISC-V, an open standard ISA developed by researchers at UC Berkeley in 2010, has gained significant global traction as countries emphasize chip sovereignty. Its open-source, scalable, and flexible design has made it a popular choice among chip designers. By the end of 2023, the RISC-V International Foundation had grown to 4,423 members, a 28% increase from the previous year, spanning over 70 countries.
"ST is a welcome addition to our shareholders," said Alexander Kocher, CEO of Quintauris. "Through collaboration with the world’s leading semiconductor companies, we aim to unlock the full potential of RISC-V across various industries."
Kocher highlighted the importance of collaboration within the RISC-V ecosystem to accelerate development and strengthen the semiconductor industry.
