MIPS Aegis Platforms
Bringing intelligence into safety-critical systems
Safety-native processing built from the ground up
MIPS Aegis is a safety-native RISC-V application processor platform for automotive, robotics, industrial systems, aerospace and defense, and communications infrastructure. Aegis combines host processing, safety-domain control, security, networking, and AI acceleration into a development platform for software-rich Physical AI systems.

Safety-native by design
Aegis is designed for safety-critical Physical AI systems, where a system fault can create risk for vehicles, equipment, infrastructure, and people. Its safety-native architecture combines host processing, safety features, security, connectivity, and AI processing with components and development evidence aligned to functional safety standards.
That safety-native foundation is supported by a software-first approach that gives customers a representative digital environment before final silicon is available. Teams can begin software development earlier, run real workloads, and evaluate how application processing, safety, security, networking, control, and AI acceleration work together before committing to the final architecture.
