Quintauris Demonstrates RISC-V Innovation in Automotive at CES

New collaboration features Quintauris reference architecture with Synopsys processor IP.

January 6, 2026 -- Quintauris, a leading provider of RISC-V solutions, announced a strategic collaboration with Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems. This collaboration aims to secure the development of real-time, safety-critical automotive platforms from virtual prototypes to system-on-chips (SoCs).

At CES, Quintauris is demonstrating the first major deliverable of this strategic collaboration, a reference architecture based on its RT-Europa platform validated with Synopsys ARC-V RHX-110-FS processor IP that runs the automotive safety software from virtual prototype to FPGA.

This collaboration marks a major milestone in the adoption of RISC-V in automotive. By combining Quintauris’ RISC-V platform and Synopsys’ ARC-V functional safety processors, customers can achieve faster development cycles, meet target performance requirements and secure the complete development cycle from virtual to physical implementations with the benefit of a pre-validated processor based on the RT-EUROPA platform.

“We are excited to collaborate with Synopsys and integrate their market leading technology in our reference architecture for real-time applications,” said Pedro Lopez, Market Strategy Officer at Quintauris. “The release of our reference architecture with Synopsys is a major milestone to overcome limitations that have questioned the viability of RISC-V in automotive. The joint efforts enable automotive customers to benchmark, from virtual prototype to physical implementations, a software compatible environment ready for mass production of automotive SoCs.” 

Matt Gutierrez, Executive Director of Product Management for Synopsys Processor IP added: “We are excited to work with Quintauris to meet our mutual customers’ requirements for automotive-ready ARC-V IP based on the RISC-V standard, and to enable  ‘shift-left’ for automotive designs using virtual prototypes for critical early software development.” 

The Quintauris–Synopsys collaboration represents a major step in strengthening the RISC-V ecosystem for automotive applications, enabling the first real-time platform for automotive, from virtual to physical implementation based on RT-Europa.  

Quintauris’ RT-Europa Platform will be available for licensing in January and the reference architecture based on Synopsys ARC-V could be leveraged by the automotive ecosystem with the support of Quintauris’ Professional Services team.
