Quintauris and Vector collaborate to integrate MICROSAR Classic on Quintauris’ RT-EUROPA real-time automotive platform

December 4, 2025 -- Quintauris, a global provider of RISC-V based solutions, today announced a technical collaboration with Vector, leading provider of software ecosystems for the development of software-defined systems. 

The partnership integrates Vector’s MICROSAR Classic software stack with Quintauris’ RT-Europa, a platform designed to accelerate the development and secure software interoperability of automotive RISC-V real-time processors. 

RT-Europa provides a specialized RISC-V platform tailored for real-time processors, specifically targeting automotive applications. It integrates compilers, real-time operating systems, toolchains, microarchitecture IPs and validation frameworks from multiple ecosystem partners into a unified reference architecture. Through the integration of the Vector MICROSAR Classic stack, Quintauris secures one of the leading market solutions as part of its reference architecture, which accelerates the deployment of this sophisticated and reliable software used by leading OEM and TIER1s. 

This collaboration enables developers to: 

• Secure access to a leading automotive real-time software component as part of Quintauris reference architecture.  
• Accelerate their AUTOSAR Classic integration on RT-EUROPA reference architecture. 
• Validate platform performance, timing, and reliability using Quintauris benchmark framework. 

“By integrating Vector’s MICROSAR Classic with RT-Europa, we are bridging the gap between open, modular RISC-V architectures and the standardized automotive software environment,” said Pedro Lopez, Market Strategy Officer at Quintauris. “This collaboration provides the foundation for developing and validating next-generation real-time automotive systems with the robustness and predictability required for production.” 

“Through our collaboration with Quintauris, we are actively supporting the creation of a serial approved software ecosystem around the RISC-V technology,” said Jochen Rein, Senior Vice President Embedded Software and Systems at Vector. “MICROSAR Classic is proven to be reliable and compliant with automotive standards. Combined with RT-Europa’s flexibility, we enable developers to explore new architectures while maintaining familiar MICROSAR methodologies and toolchains.” 

The joint solution will be showcased at CES 2026, where Quintauris will unveil its real-time platform and demonstrate the integration with key ecosystem partners.
