Recent advancements in electrification, autonomy, and digital technologies have sparked increased interest in the electric-vehicle industry, resulting in the development of more sophisticated vehicles. However, the existing decentralised architecture of multi-electronic control units (ECUs) struggles to support this growth due to rising software and hardware complexity. The EU-funded Rigoletto project will lay the groundwork for developing a next-generation automotive hardware platform based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). This initiative seeks to reinforce Europe’s leadership in the future of automotive electronics, especially considering the shift towards centralised electronic/electrical (E/E) architecture and the merging of ECUs into Domain Control Units (DCUs) or Zonal Control Units (ZCUs).
