The combined product is designed for SoC designers targeting critical functions requiring ISO 26262 ASIL B to ASIL D, making it suitable for vehicle electronics requiring compact and cost-sensitive SoCs that are still capable of ASIL certification.
Andes says it is the first RISC-V processor IP vendor to receive ASIL D process certification for both hardware (ISO 26262-5) and software (ISO 26262-6).
The joint offering is expected to be available for general licensing in H2 2022.
