What is Vehicle to Everything Communication Technology and How Will 5G Enable It? Editorial credit: ermess / Shutterstock.com Since cars first started crowding the roads, engineers have been dreaming of how to make traffic move a bit faster. Mechanical engineers made individual cars speedier and more fuel efficient. Civil engineers studied traffic patterns and planned roads accordingly. Now it’s time for electrical and software engineers to get involved with vehicle to everything (V2X) technology. V2X will reduce traffic jams Read Article "Freedom From Memory Interference An ASIL Aware Static Analysis and Associated Tools" Download PDF Embedded Solutions for Safety-Critical Applications Download PDF Over-The-Air Connectivity Allows Automotive Firmware Updates, but Creates Security Challenges Thanks to the accelerating pace vehicle systems are being computerized, updating and securing control firmware is a new responsibility for automotive manufacturers. Over-the-air connectivity means crucial patches, especially those closing security holes, can be silently pushed to thousands of cars without user intervention. That said, it’s important to realize that an over-the-air solution presents a double-edged sword: if not implemented Read Article Multiple Sensor Fusion for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles: Pros and Cons Think back to when you were a child, how did you think the future would look? Spaceships, flying cars, internet connected eating utensils? We have many of the things I hoped we would, but somehow cars have lagged behind. I was expecting to see flying cars zooming through the sky and driverless cars whizzing through the streets. I don’t have a solution for flying cars, but there is something that’s making unmanned autonomous vehicles a reality Read Article Growing ADAS Market Will Require Efficient Software and MPU Expertise Transportation has a major effect on people and societies, and cars changed life around the world forever. We are now on the brink of another major transportation breakthrough, self-driving cars. While we are still years away from fully autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are becoming more common in the automotive industry. The ADAS market is headed for major growth, and smart software developers can grow with them Read Article Why You Should Use the Best Static Analysis Tool For Developing Autonomous Vehicle Software Designers often focus on benchmarking their compiler, only to have their programs slowed down by safety considerations later. Using a compiler that has integrated safety features, especially static analysis tools, can get your program into ISO 26262 compliance quickly. Using a safety tool with great static analysis can save you time in debugging, keep you from cutting features, and allow you to get the most out of your compiler. Have you ever Read Article Configuring TASKING Safety Checker for Third Party C Compilers TASKING Safety Checker can be used in various industries where IEC 61508 related regulations are in place, like ISO 26262 in automotive. It fully supports the ISO-C standard, but it needs a simple configuration to be used in context with compiler specific C extensions. This blog provides sources for such configurations. In addition to the TASKING C compilers, the new Safety Checker can be configured to work with embedded C compilers from other Read Article Standalone release of TASKING Safety Checker available TASKING Safety Checker assists embedded software developers with safety-related analysis of application code and providing evidence for Freedom From Interference, for example for certification of automotive software applications conform the ISO 26262 functional safety standard or similar interpretations of IEC 61508 in other industries. The standalone version of TASKING Safety Checker can be used to check embedded code independent from the tool Read Article ISO 26262 - Best ideas come in the Shower TASKING wants employees to be creative, you get your best ideas when you’re under the shower, so build a couple of showers at the TASKING office. This wonderful idea arose under the shower, so I quickly wiped myself dry and went to the office to tell my boss about it. Unfortunately he was not excited at all. Read how this relates to my experience when developing our Safety Checker, initially targeted for ISO 26262 related applications. Still Read Article Freedom from Interference - How to beat the MPU Mixed criticality in embedded software development is the concept of allowing software at different levels of criticality to interact and coexist in the same Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Certification of such systems is rather complex, because you have to prove that software elements with a lower safety level cannot interfere with elements with a higher safety level. You have to ensure what ISO 26262 calls ‘Freedom from Interference’. Read how Read Article Who is calling whom? The Making of Information Age: Enfield Telephone Exchange1 Safety Checker by TASKING is a Safety integrity level (SIL) aware static analyzer with the ability to check for interference in the memory space domain and the special function register domain which is helpful to prove "freedom from Interference" as described in the ISO 26262 functional safety standard. The success of a good static analysis stands or falls to whether the tool is able to Read Article Corruption of Memory Content Safety standard ISO 26262 specifies that freedom from interference between software elements shall be ensured. The current safety mechanisms to address memory interferences have severe restrictions. Read on if you want to understand the weaknesses in today’s solutions to prevent corruption of memory content and illegal access to memory allocated to other software components. Freedom from Interference You are right if you consider taking enough Read Article Accelerate in second gear with AURIX™ Through Altium’s long standing, close cooperation with Infineon Technologies the team at TASKING has always been able to deliver outstanding support for new microcontroller variants to the market early on. The #1 TriCore tools to unleash the Plus in Performance, Connectivity and Security of the Second Generation AURIX™ Through Altium’s long standing, close cooperation with Infineon Technologies the team at TASKING has always been able to deliver Read Article Gremlins in Legacy Object Files Why you shouldn’t fear linking object files from different compiler versions ('cross linking') with the newest TriCore 6.1 compiler and two older versions. Are they out to get you? When the daughter of a friend of mine was still a little girl, she could not sleep at night because she was afraid of the monsters under her bed. Her parents could talk all they wanted, it did not help; she had nightmares about those monsters. In the end my friend came Read Article Enjoying CERT C secure coding analysis with embedded compilers through Safety Checker The standalone version of TASKING Safety Checker can be used in various industries where IEC 61508 related regulations are in place, like ISO 26262 in automotive. In addition to its safety aware analysis it supports CERT C coding analysis independent from the tool chain that is in use. Altium always has been at the forefront of incorporating support for new standards in its embedded TASKING C compilers. It was one of the first to fully integrate Read Article The Three Programming Essentials You Need to Know for AURIX™ Multi-Core TriCore™ With great architecture comes increased complexity, and if you're a developer about to embark on an AURIX™-based project then you’ll need to know these three programming essentials to get your development job done right the first time. In Spring 2012, Infineon introduced the fifth generation of TriCore™. This family line, called AURIX™, was the first to implement up to three 32-bit TriCore™ CPUs and aimed to meet the highest safety standards Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ First page 1 … Page7 Page8 Page9 Page10 Current page11 Page12 Next page Next › Load More
