For the success of the activity, it is vitally important to address both: i.
Creation of application-specific compute solutions within and beyond existing RISC-V ISA/extensions/profiles (‘normative’ portion),
...
Establish trust/confidence by major automotive players in the provided solutions (‘informative’ portion).
Scope
The scope of the Automotive SIG includes:
Creating and maintaining a list of requirements for RISC-V ISA and ecosystem for effectively addressing the automotive market.
Prioritizing activities to address identified gaps between these requirements and existing RISC-V support.
Proposing or interfacing with all kind of initiatives (industry, academia, governmental) to enable and promote the adoption of RISC-V in automotive applications.Developing (through
task groups) technologies that advance the safety, security, functionality, and performance of automotive systems.Work with existing task groups and propose new task groups to create RISC-V ISA extensions and non-ISA related improvements for the safe, secure, optimized execution of automotive workloads.
Supporting the development of ecosystem tools and software, including operating systems and other support organizations.
...
ADAS and autonomous vehicles, covering all SAE J3016 levels (0–5).
Infotainment (IVI)
Zonal ControlAll compute supporting various architectures including Centralized, Distributed and Zonal Architectures
Electrification including battery control and electric drive
Drivetrain management.
Body control.
To address these applications the SIG will address topics such as●
Safety (e.g. ISO26262)
...
Security (e.g. ISO21434 or SESIP)
...
Scalable performance from micro-controller class through large multi-core application class
...
Realtime Performance
...
Profiles
To achieve its goals, the Automotive SIG will interact with:
Functional Safety SIG.
Trusted Computing SIG.
SOC Infrastructure HC.
Hypervisors (HV) SIG
Runtime Integrity SIG / Security HC
Reliability and Serviceability (RAS) SIG
Fast Interrupts
Advanced Interrupt Architecture (AIA) TG
Server-SoC SIG
AI ML SIG
Other
Deliverables
The Automotive SIG will not deliver any specifications, standards, or recommendations. Instead, it will establish task groups and interact with existing task groups to acheive the following goals:●
The implementation of changes or additions to RISC-V standards and recommendations in order to better enable uptake in the automotive industry (‘normative’ portion)
...
Support, Recommendations and Advocacy for the adoption of RISC-V in the automotive industry ecosystem (‘non-normative’ portion).
