Quintauris launches the first RISC-V profile for today’s real-time automotive applications

A game-changing step for automotive innovation: low-latency, deterministic performance now available in a standardized RISC-V.

March 4, 2025 -- Quintauris, the company founded as a single source to enable compatible RISC-V-based products, announces RT-Europa (brightest moon), the first RISC-V profile tailored for today’s real-time, safety-critical automotive applications. This groundbreaking solution enables low-latency, predictable execution and high reliability designs and smooth transition to RISC-V technology for today’s automotive systems. 

Advancing RISC-V Ecosystem Alignment for Automotive  

RT-Europa aligns RISC-V implementations for Safety Island and Domain Controllers where deterministic execution and low latency are key. This solution is the first step to deliver ready-to-deploy RISC-V specifications optimized for functional safety and real-time performance automotive workloads. 

“Quintauris RT-Europa marks a major step forward for RISC-V in the automotive space. This profile is the initial foundational step for OEMs and Tier 1s to confidently adopt open-standard, real-time solutions without compromising software environment” says Alexander Kocher, CEO of Quintauris. 

Key Benefits of Quintauris RT-Europa

• Predictable Performance & Low Latency: designed for automotive safety-critical tasks, ensuring deterministic execution where every microsecond counts. 
• Scalability & Customization: this modular approach allows manufacturers to integrate proprietary extensions while maintaining software compatibility. 
• Time-to-Market Acceleration: standardized core functionalities across multiple IP vendor solutions, the profile enables faster development cycles and smoother transitions from prototype to production. 

Quintauris at Embedded World 2025

RT-Europa will be officially unveiled during Embedded World 2025, where Quintauris will host a speaking session on March 12, 2025. Attendees will be the first to discover this profile and its benefits. 

Details:

• Session 4.4 – Transforming the RISC-V Landscape: The Path to Ecosystem Alignment.
• Presented by Angel Berrio, Head of Product Management at Quintauris.
• Time: 10:30 CET
