RISC-V Summit spurs new round of automotive support

By Gina Roos, EDN | October 30, 2025

The adoption of RISC-V with open standards in automotive applications continues to accelerate, leveraging its flexibility and scalability, particularly benefiting the automotive industry’s shift to software-defined vehicles. Several RISC-V IP core and development tool providers recently announced advances and partnerships to drive RISC-V adoption in automotive applications.

In July 2025, the first Automotive RISC-V Ecosystem Summit, hosted by Infineon Technologies AG, was held in Munich. Infineon believes cars will change in the next five years more than in the last 50 years, and as traditional architectures come to their limit, RISC-V will be a game-changer, enabling the collaboration between software and hardware.

However, RISC-V adoption will require an ecosystem to deliver new technologies for the automotive industry. The summit showcased RISC-V solutions and technologies ready for automotive, particularly for SDVs, bringing together RISC-V players in areas such as compute IP, software, and development solutions.
