Quintauris and Lauterbach have announced a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening the RISC-V ecosystem for automotive and other safety-critical industries.
The collaboration will integrate Lauterbach’s widely used TRACE32 debug and trace suite into Quintauris’s forthcoming RISC-V reference platform, enabling developers to use a unified toolchain across diverse RISC-V implementations.
The move is expected to simplify interoperability and enhance system analysis throughout the entire product life cycle—from Cloud-based virtual platforms and silicon design to end products such as electronic control units (ECUs).
“Lauterbach’s leadership in debug and trace tooling is undisputed,” said Pedro Lopez, Market Strategy Officer at Quintauris. “By collaborating with them, we provide developers integrated access to proven tools that support real-world RISC-V deployments in automotive and beyond.”
Founded in 2023 by a consortium including Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Qualcomm, and STMicroelectronics, Quintauris develops RISC-V reference architectures and software components to drive compatibility and adoption of the open-standard instruction set architecture across sectors.
Lauterbach, headquartered near Munich, has spent more than 40 years building debugging and tracing tools for embedded systems, with support for thousands of chips and microarchitectures. Its TRACE32 suite is used extensively in automotive software development, including systems built around AUTOSAR, hypervisors, and real-time operating systems.
“We’re proud to work with Quintauris to enhance the RISC-V ecosystem,” said Stephan Lauterbach, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Lauterbach. “This collaboration ensures developers can leverage industry-leading debug and trace capabilities within a harmonised RISC-V platform.”
Both companies will showcase their collaboration at the ELIV Conference in Bonn on 15th and 16th October.
The partnership underscores a growing push to build a standardised, scalable framework for RISC-V development in automotive and industrial markets—an area increasingly viewed as a frontier for open hardware innovation.
