For the success of the activity, it is vitally important to address both:
...
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.
