New design innovations with RISC-V offer great potential in automotive applications, but achieving the extensive quality standards are critical for success.
The verification requirements to achieve the ASIL D safety requirement level of ISO 26262 with a processor-based design are extensive, however verification IP reuse through standards such as RVVI help improve efficiency and achieve time to market schedules with all the design innovations that RISC-V enables.

At PUCRS, we use Imperas virtual platforms in projects on multiprocessor SoC modeling, power evaluation, and programmability, as well as computer science graduate program courses on SoCs and research architecture. Our research group (Grupo de Apoio ao Projeto de Hardware, or Hardware Design Support Group), also leverages these tools.
