Andes Technology

Andes Technology, established in 2005, actively supports RISC-V for automotive applications. The company became a founding member of the RISC-V Foundation in 2016 and achieved significant milestones, including the delivery of the NX25F and N25F RISC-V CPUs in 2017. These two CPUs gained popularity, with over 200 licensed projects and more than 500Million shipments. 

One notable achievement is Andes' Development Process certification with ISO 26262 ASIL-D, marking it as the first RISC-V CPU IP vendor to compliant with ISO 26262 standards. In 2022, Andes delivered the first fully compliant RISC-V CPU certified with ISO 26262. The company continues to deliver cores certified with ISO 26262, such as the D25-SE, D45-SE, and D23-SE.

Andes addresses systematic faults and hardware random faults while providing insights through FMEDA reports. In addition, the company places a high priority on safety assurance, adhering to industry standards like ISO 9001 for quality management.

Collaborations with suppliers including Vector AUTOSAR, Rambus, Secure-IC, and Virtual Open System emphasize Andes' commitment to fostering a robust ecosystem for automotive design. Compiler and debugger support from industry leaders like IAR and Green Hills further enhance the functionality of RISC-V CPUs. With over 18 years of experience, Andes remains committed to customer success in the automotive industry. Its rich ecosystem and competitive product portfolios prioritize safety and compliance, making it a reliable partner in automotive design and innovation. 

Andes RISC-V CPU families range from tiny 32-bit cores to advanced 64-bit Out-of-Order processors with DSP, FPU, Vector, Linux, superscalar, automotive and/or multi/many-core capabilities. By the end of 2023, the cumulative volume of Andes-Embedded SoCs has surpassed 14 billion.
