MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., and
ERLANGEN, Germany, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- To accelerate early software development, Elektrobit has ported
its Classic AUTOSAR software to Synopsys' ARC EM and HS Functional
Safety Processors
- ARC Processor-based hardware and software platforms enable
automotive SoC developers to quickly develop safety-critical
functions based on the AUTOSAR standard
- Combined solution supports an integrated safety manager for
single-chip automotive solutions that lower system costs, reduces
chip power consumption and area, and enhances real-time response
rate
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Elektrobit (EB), a
visionary global supplier of embedded and connected software
products for the automotive industry, today announced availability
of EB tresos Classic AUTOSAR software for Synopsys' ASIL-D
compliant DesignWare® ARC® EM and ARC HS
Functional Safety (FS) Processor IP. This version of the EB tresos
AUTOSAR software used with the ARC Functional Safety processors
provides a hardware-software platform that makes it easier for
automotive semiconductor companies, OEMs, and Tier 1 suppliers to
develop software applications based on the AUTOSAR standard. The
combined solution accelerates time-to-market for the complex
automotive electronic control units (ECUs) required for
applications such as ADAS, infotainment, gateways, and
vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems used in modern vehicles.
"Elektrobit has been active in the development of the AUTOSAR
standard from its inception and continues to be a leader in AUTOSAR
software and tools," said Artur
Seidel, vice president for Americas at Elektrobit. "We are
pleased to be the first automotive software company to collaborate
with Synopsys on a software solution for its ARC Functional Safety
processors, providing a turnkey approach that makes it quicker
and easier for customers to develop automotive safety
applications."
The ARC Functional Safety processors support ASIL B and ASIL D
safety levels to simplify safety-critical automotive system on chip
(SoC) development and accelerate ISO 26262 qualification. The
complete portfolio includes the ARC EM22FS, HS4xFS,
EV7xFS, and VPX5FS safety processors with integrated
hardware safety features to detect system errors. The DesignWare
ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit for Safety (EM22FS, HS4xFS) helps
software developers accelerate the development of ISO
26262-compliant code. To accelerate early software development,
Elektrobit supplies Classic AUTOSAR to the ARC EM Software
Development Platform and the ARC HS4x/4xD Development Kit. A
Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL), which abstracts the
hardware devices, is available for each platform, allowing
engineers to begin software development immediately. The ARC
Functional Safety processor IP is developed based on the ISO 9001
certified Quality Management System (QMS) for Synopsys DesignWare
IP supporting additional automotive quality requirements.
"Embedded processors used in advanced automotive applications
must adhere to the highest safety standards and be developed
with ISO 26262 compliance in mind," said John Koeter, senior vice president of marketing
and strategy for IP at Synopsys. "Our collaboration with
Elektrobit, a company known for its AUTOSAR expertise, to provide
our ASIL ARC Functional Safety Processor IP with AUTOSAR OS support
enables semiconductor vendors, Tier 1 suppliers, and car makers to
accelerate software development and innovation for automotive
applications."
