TASKING Joins the Open RISC‑V Automotive Chip Innovation Alliance to Advance an Open and Collaborative Ecosystem

Suzhou, China — In Novem­ber 2025, the Open RISC‑V Auto­mo­tive Chip Inno­va­tion Alliance was offi­cial­ly launched dur­ing the 2025 Auto­mo­tive Tech­nol­o­gy and Equip­ment Develop­ment Forum held in Suzhou, China. The forum was jointly orga­nized by the Equip­ment Indus­try Develop­ment Cen­ter of the Min­istry of Indus­try and Infor­ma­tion Tech­nol­o­gy and the Suzhou Munic­i­pal Gov­ern­ment.

Empow­er­ing RISC‑V Auto­mo­tive Inno­va­tion with a Glob­al Tool­chain Port­fo­lio

Ini­ti­at­ed by China-Core (C*Core), the Alliance was jointly estab­lished togeth­er with 13 lead­ing com­pa­nies across the auto­mo­tive semi­con­duc­tor value chain. As a glob­al leader in com­pil­er and debug­ging tool­chains, TASKING par­tic­i­pat­ed in the found­ing of the Alliance as one of its inau­gur­al core mem­bers, along­side key ecosys­tem part­ners such as Syn­op­sys, SiFive, IAR, SEGGER, PLS, ETAS, Vec­tor, and Elek­tro­bit.

As an impor­tant inter­na­tion­al mem­ber, TASKING con­tributes long-stand­ing exper­tise in func­tion­al safe­ty, per­for­mance opti­miza­tion, and auto­mo­tive-grade soft­ware develop­ment tools, pro­vid­ing crit­i­cal sup­port to the Alliance’s tech­ni­cal advance­ment and ecosys­tem develop­ment goals.

As a mem­ber of the Alliance, TASKING will focus on three key areas of con­tri­bu­tion:

Strength­en­ing the RISC‑V Auto­mo­tive Soft­ware Develop­ment Frame­work
TASKING offers a com­pre­hen­sive tool­chain port­fo­lio cov­er­ing com­pil­ers, debug­gers, sta­t­ic analy­sis, and per­for­mance opti­miza­tion, with sup­port for mul­ti­ple auto­mo­tive-grade MCU archi­tec­tures. Through active tech­ni­cal col­lab­o­ra­tion with­in the Alliance, TASKING aims to help estab­lish more effi­cient and safe­ty-ori­ent­ed RISC‑V soft­ware develop­ment work­flows for auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions.

Advanc­ing Stan­dard­iza­tion with­in the RISC‑V Auto­mo­tive Ecosys­tem
Draw­ing on exten­sive expe­ri­ence work­ing with glob­al OEMs and Tier‑1 sup­pli­ers, TASKING will sup­port stan­dard­iza­tion efforts relat­ed to tool­chain inter­faces, com­pil­er opti­miza­tion, and safe­ty mech­a­nisms, accel­er­at­ing the adop­tion of RISC‑V in auto­mo­tive-grade use cases.

Build­ing an Open and Col­lab­o­ra­tive Indus­try Plat­form
The Alliance brings togeth­er the full auto­mo­tive elec­tron­ics value chain, span­ning chip design, soft­ware develop­ment, and vehi­cle-level appli­ca­tions. TASKING will work close­ly with ecosys­tem part­ners to pro­mote project col­lab­o­ra­tion, ecosys­tem val­i­da­tion, and the appli­ca­tion of proven prac­tices to next-gen­er­a­tion intel­li­gent auto­mo­tive soft­ware sys­tems.

RISC‑V: Accel­er­at­ing Trans­for­ma­tion in Auto­mo­tive Elec­tron­ics

As the auto­mo­tive indus­try con­tin­ues to evolve toward elec­tri­fi­ca­tion, intel­li­gence, and soft­ware-defined vehi­cles, open and col­lab­o­ra­tive develop­ment ecosys­tems are becom­ing increas­ing­ly crit­i­cal.
With its open and exten­si­ble instruc­tion set archi­tec­ture, RISC‑V pro­vides new oppor­tu­ni­ties for inno­va­tion in auto­mo­tive elec­tron­ics, enabling flex­i­ble and scal­able sys­tem design.

The estab­lish­ment of the Alliance marks a con­crete mile­stone in coor­di­nat­ing indus­try efforts around RISC‑V auto­mo­tive adop­tion. By fos­ter­ing col­lab­o­ra­tion across the semi­con­duc­tor value chain, the Alliance focus­es on accel­er­at­ing tech­nol­o­gy align­ment, strength­en­ing indige­nous inno­va­tion capa­bil­i­ties in auto­mo­tive chip develop­ment, and sup­port­ing the deploy­ment of safer, more reli­able auto­mo­tive elec­tron­ics sys­tems.

RISC‑V: Accel­er­at­ing Trans­for­ma­tion in Auto­mo­tive Elec­tron­ics

Look­ing ahead, TASKING will:

  • Con­tin­ue invest­ing in com­pil­er opti­miza­tion and debug­ging tech­nolo­gies for RISC‑V archi­tec­tures
  • Advance tool­chain align­ment with auto­mo­tive safe­ty and secu­ri­ty stan­dards, includ­ing ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434
  • Col­lab­o­rate with ecosys­tem part­ners to estab­lish val­i­dat­ed and pro­duc­tion-ready ref­er­ence develop­ment work­flows
  • Sup­port cus­tomers in China and world­wide in build­ing next-gen­er­a­tion auto­mo­tive elec­tron­ic sys­tems based on RISC‑V

TASKING looks for­ward to work­ing close­ly with all Alliance mem­bers to accel­er­ate large-scale adop­tion of RISC‑V in the auto­mo­tive indus­try and to drive sus­tain­able, high-qual­i­ty tech­no­log­i­cal progress.
