On August 25, the 2023 RISC-V China Summit came to an end. During the conference, ESWIN Computing delivered two keynote speeches on automotive and security solutions on the 24th and 25th, following the keynote speeches delivered at the main forum, sharing ESWIN Computing's thoughts and achievements on RISC-V in the field of automotive and security systems.

Self-developed RISC-V architecture processors and ICs are used in automotive scenarios

Under the wave of automotive intelligence, the demand for on-board ICs such as smart automotive control, smart cockpit, and smart driving is rising, and the market is in short supply. According to the research report, 95% of China's on-board IC market is currently dependent on imports, of which the autonomy rate of computing and control chips is less than 1%.

Jiang Ke, Executive Deputy General Manager of ESWIN Computing's Automotive Business Unit, introduced in his keynote speech on Application Practice and Thinking of RISC-V in Automotive Scenarios: “The automotive scenario is one of the key application scenarios of ESWIN Computing's RISC-V architecture ICs. ESWIN Computing's self-developed RISC-V processor has flexible instruction scalability and ecological compatibility, and has excellent performance in terms of reliability, safety, high cost performance, and high energy efficiency. At present, ESWIN Computing has formed a series of automotive IC products based on the self-developed RISC-V architecture, and has completed the ISO 26262 functional safety management system certification and obtained the ASIL-D management system certification. ”

Automotive MCUs equipped with ESWIN Computing's self-developed RISC-V processors have made breakthroughs in both software and hardware. In terms of hardware, functional safety-related R&D steps have been added to the IC design process to enhance the functional safety of CPU processors and STL functional safety libraries. At the same time, fault simulation and failure analysis are periodically carried out during the design process to verify the robustness of the safety design, and then iterate the functional safety design that meets the requirements and improve the reliability of the ICs. The automotive MCU can be widely used in automotive display control systems, smart cockpit control systems, BCM, lamp control systems, door seat control systems, and window control systems, providing customers with highly reliable and stable chip solutions.

Safety starts with the “core”

Security is no trivial matter, and chips are the core components of various digital products, which directly affect the functional safety of the products themselves and the information security of users.

In the keynote speech on Building a Secure, Reliable, Stable and Reliable RISC-V Security System, Mr. Cao Liu, Director of Security Solution Development of ESWIN Computing, said: "ESWIN Computing focuses on data asset protection, based on the RISC-V CPU security solution, and cooperates with SoC security IPs and security software solutions to build an information security technology system, which can provide a comprehensive information security solution integrating IPs, SoCs and systems. The security subsystem solution can be applied to 32-bit and 64-bit CPU and chip products, improve the information security protection capability of RISC-V CPU-based products, meet the security business needs of multiple scenarios such as the Internet of Things, multimedia, and automotive, and the integrated security solution also meets the ASIL-B AND ASIL-D vehicle functional safety specifications. ”

The construction of the RISC-V ecosystem cannot be completed overnight, but it is worth looking forward to the fact that more and more enterprises and organizations are participating in it. The RISC-V core performance is getting stronger and stronger, the products are becoming more and more abundant, and the ecosystem is gradually becoming large-scale. ESWIN Computing will collaborate with more industry chain partners to innovate and promote the industrialization of RISC-V at a faster speed and in more scenarios.
