Quintauris taps Segger for RISC-V chip debug
Quintauris is working with Segger to develop debug and development products and technology for a wide range of RISC-V chips.
The move is significant as Quintauris was set up in Germany to drive the development of chips using the open RISC-V instruction set in automotive, but the Segger deal also includes chips for the health, Internet of Things, and high-performance computer markets.
Quintauris will specify reference architectures while Segger is providing 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 contribute to the technical aspects of setting up a reference RISC-V platform for the automotive industry.
The J-Link debugger is a key entry point as this is a very popular tool used across a wide range of architectures.
“We are excited to collaborate with Segger as we work to drive the commercial adoption of RISC-V forward,” says Pedro Lopez, Managing Director and Head of Market Development at 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 at 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.”
Quintauris was founded in 2023 by Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, ST Microelectronics and Qualcomm Technologies to serve as a single source for enabling compatible RISC-V-based products.
