Accelerate the future of mobility with RISC-V

As software-defined vehicles become a reality, embracing RISC-V enables the automotive industry to unlock a new era of innovation, collaboration and growth. With our commitment to making RISC-V the open standard for automotive, we are driving the development of a vibrant ecosystem that enables faster time-to-market, increased flexibility and improved cost control. Together with our partners, we are shaping the future of mobility.

Building on this vision, Infineon is the first semiconductor provider to announce the introduction of an automotive RISC-V microcontroller family. This new family will become part of our established AURIX™ brand and extend our existing portfolio, which includes solutions based on TriCore™ and ARM®. It will cater to a wide range of applications from entry-level to high-performance needs. At Embedded World 2025, we are launching a virtual prototype. This starter kit is designed to enable pre-silicon software development and thus foster a comprehensive RISC-V software and tool ecosystem.

Customer benefits

  • Open standard for the entire platform (HW/IP to SW environment) is fostering best-in-class flexibility
  • Scalability, compatibility, and reduced migration efforts lead to better affordability and cost control
  • Supported by a fast/adjacent growing partner ecosystem for customer-centric solutions

Automotive RISC-V Ecosystem Summit

Shaping the future of mobility – together

As the global leader in automotive microcontrollers, Infineon is committed to foster the collaboration across the industry to accelerate innovation towards RISC-V adoption. 

Hence, we hosted  the Automotive RISC-V Ecosystem Summit in July 2025 for the first time ever, where we explored the way to accelerate the innovation, set new standards and define the future of mobility - together with our customers,  and ecosystem partners. We believe that innovation thrives on collaboration, which is why the event centered on building connections and strengthening the ecosystem. 

Infineon´s ecosystem partners

At Infineon, we're building a rapidly growing automotive ecosystem globally  by combining the best of our existing partnerships, new innovators, and adjacent domains such as IoT and AI, all empowered by open standards. With a proven track record of successfully orchestrating ecosystems and a clear roadmap for RISC-V development, Infineon is committed to enabling early development through pre-silicon Virtual Prototypes (VP) and close collaboration with standards bodies. By bundling our ecosystem portfolio with Infineon´s, we're creating one-stop-shop solutions that empower our customers to develop customer-centric system solutions.
