Aiming at automotive applications, ARM has developed functional safety documentation for its Cortex-R5 processor. Industrial and medical safety is also in it sights.
“This will help speed the path to global safety standard compliances,” said ARM. The processor offers “a rich set of fault detection and control features, enabling a reduction in the overall quantity of components required in advanced driver assistance systems [ADAS] or power train.”
Its principle target is ISO26262 qualification. According to the firm, R5 is its first processor to come with a safety document set that semiconductor companies wanting to use the core in SoCs can use to demonstrate compliance with functional safety standards.
“ARM will be supporting other processors from our portfolio in a similar way,” said ARM general manager Noel Hurley. “Functional safety is increasingly important for many markets, including automotive, medical and industrial.”
Medical applications, which are covered by a broad range of standards, are addressed by the generic nature of the document package, said ARM, while it also supports compliance to IEC 61508 for industrial use.
The ARM Compiler is now TÜV SÜD certified, allowing for safety-related software development up to ISO 26262 ASIL D and IEC 61508 SIL 3 without further tool chain qualification activities.
TÜV certification complements the ARM Compiler Qualification Kit, which contains the safety manual, development process document, test report and defect report.
The Cortex-R5 safety documentation is available for licensing now.
