Andes Technology and Vector announced a collaboration aimed at advancing automotive software solutions with the RISC-V architecture. This cooperation unites the expertise of two industry leaders, enabling the development of integrated automotive solutions combining AndesCore Safety-Enhanced (SE) RISC-V processor series and Vector?s MICROSAR Classic basic software, accelerating innovation and time-to-market. Andes, the first RISC-V CPU vendor to deliver an ISO-26262 fully compliant core N25F-SE, keeps advancing in the automotive market by executing a rich FuSa processor roadmap that additionally includes the DSP-enabled D25F-SE, the compact and secure D23-SE, the high-performance D45-SE, and the ADAS-capable 60-SE Series.

With its state-of-the-art RISC-V CPU architecture, AndesCore brings flexibility and scalability to the world of automotive processors, and delivers exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and safety to meet the specific requirements of various automotive applications. Vector is a leading provider of AUTOSAR software for the automotive industry. AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is a global partnership of leading companies in the automotive and software industry to develop and establish the standardized software framework and open E/E system architecture for intelligent mobility.

As a Premium Partner Plus (PP+), Vector is taking on extended steering tasks within the well-known development partnership. Vector is thus helping to shape the strategic direction of AUTOSAR, to ensure the performance of the standard for future ECU development, such as in the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV).
