Arteris extends partnership with Alibaba DAMO Academy for RISC-V chips

Arteris Inc. (NASDAQ: AIP) announced an expanded collaboration with Alibaba DAMO Academy's XuanTie to advance high-performance RISC-V system-on-chip designs for edge AI, server, communications, and automotive applications.

The partnership builds on Arteris' 2024 membership in DAMO Academy's Wujian Alliance. The companies have completed integration and verification across multiple SoC reference designs, combining XuanTie C908, C920 and C930 CPU cores with Arteris' Ncore cache coherent interconnect IP and FlexNoC non-coherent interconnect IP.

The verified integrations provide ready-to-use solutions for both cache coherent and non-coherent applications, according to the company's press release statement. These solutions are designed to reduce development cycles for high-performance RISC-V compute subsystems in SoCs.

"Through our collaboration with Arteris, we have completed a seamless integration between multiple high-performance CPUs—including the newly released C930—and Arteris' Ncore interconnect IP," said Jing Yang, vice president of RISC-V at DAMO Academy. "This 'out-of-the-box' compatibility accelerates the entire process from architecture design to prototype verification."

Michal Siwinski, chief product and marketing officer of Arteris, stated that demand for high-performance semiconductors is increasing, with customers seeking more choice and optimized processing units. He noted that ecosystem collaborations support innovation while addressing complexity and integration risks in SoC design.

Arteris provides system IP used in semiconductors, including network-on-chip interconnect IP and SoC integration automation software. XuanTie operates under Alibaba DAMO Academy and develops RISC-V architecture solutions.
