Follow the Data In Order to Assure Freedom from Interference The functional safety standard for road vehicles, ISO 26262, does not prohibit software with different Safety Integration Level (SIL) to interact and coexist in the same Electronic Control Unit (ECU), for as long as software elements of a lower safety level cannot interfere with elements at a higher safety level. This can be accomplished using software partitioning. The software is split up into parts of different Safety Integration Levels. Next 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

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
Requirements and Implications of ASPICE Auto Software Developer Certification Software developer certification is necessary to guarantee quality software products. The ASPICE auto software developer certifications tell customers if a developer’s products work to specification, if the developer is able to provide support for its products, and how efficiently the developer operates. Read on to find out more! In college, a few friends and I got our first taste of embedded systems programming during our senior project. We made Read Article
Optimize Software Development for Cars with Standalone Debugging Tools Expensive to license software development toolsets can cause bottlenecks in your company’s software development process. Standalone debuggers will help distribute the workload for faster, less expensive, development. When I bought my last car, the salesman upsold me on the newer model with heated seats. Well, in the heat of the moment I had forgotten that I live in California. I ended up paying a lot more for a car with heated seats that I only Read Article
Technological Advances in LiDAR are Working to Bring Autonomous Vehicles into the Mainstream Market One of my favorite movies from the 2000s was Minority Report. As an engineer, my favorite genre is Science Fiction, and Tom Cruise was my favorite actor. I imagined myself riding in one of those sleek autonomous cars, watching Tom try to outrun his fate. Those cars must have been pretty far in the future because I didn’t see any giant LIDAR arrays on them. New advances in technology could turn Science Fiction into reality. LIDAR developers are Read Article
Choosing a Compiler for Automotive Applications Choosing a compiler for automotive applications can be difficult. Choosing the wrong compiler can lead to a lot of pain and frustration. It could also lead to your product not working or not being able to meet safety certification. Sounds dire? It needn’t be so. Compiler Capabilities for Automotive Applications Compiler capabilities are not equal across offerings in the automotive industry. Some compilers are built on Open Source compilers. At Read Article
Why You Shouldn't Write Your Own Libraries for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Applications Have you ever tried renovating your house on your own? In my opinion, the only thing worse than doing your own renovations is writing your own libraries for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications. Our team once had to write our own libraries. It took up an enormous amount of time on the front end. Later, when we had problems, we had to take more time to fix them ourselves. A third party library solution, optimized for a specific Read Article
