SEGGER and Quintauris are working together to develop products and technology for the open-source RISC-V ecosystem

May 8, 2025 -- Quintauris was founded in 2023 by leading semiconductor players Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductors, ST Microelectronics, and Qualcomm Technologies. It was created to serve as a single source for enabling compatible RISC-V-based products, and its aim is to both advance the adoption of RISC-V and facilitate development of next-generation processors for automotive, industrial, and IoT applications.

The focus of the SEGGER and Quintauris partnership is primarily to develop advanced hardware and enable mass deployment of RISC-V products and technology in the automotive, health, Internet of Things, and high-performance computer markets.

Quintauris will work to bridge RISC-V innovations and commercial solutions, as well as specify reference architectures for those solutions. SEGGER will provide debug and tracing support and tools, such as its J-Link and J-Trace debug probes, SystemView real-time recording and visualization tool, and Embedded Studio integrated development environment. It will also collaborate on technical aspects for setting up a reference RISC-V platform for the automotive industry.

“We are excited to collaborate with SEGGER as we work to drive the commercial adoption of RISC-V forward,” says Pedro Lopez, Head of Market Strategy, Quintauris. “SEGGER’s expertise in high-quality development and debugging tools is instrumental for ensuring the reliability and scalability required for mass deployment, as well as facilitating the needed level of maturity — particularly in automotive and other safety-critical areas. Together, we aim to accelerate the availability of reference platforms and contribute to a robust RISC-V ecosystem.”

“RISC-V represents a growing, evolving, and fast-moving market in Europe and the rest of the world,” says Hendrik Sawukajtis, Managing Director, SEGGER. “We moved into the market early and continue to be excited to play our part in cultivating RISC-V and related products, as well as further cement SEGGER as a leading global company in advanced firmware-development tools and libraries for embedded systems.”
