Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in embedded safety and security, has announced its expanded offering for automotive electronics manufacturers building safety- and security-critical systems that rely on the latest AUTOSAR Adaptive organization standards. The addition of configurable support for the leading AUTOSAR Adaptive vendors’ solutions on a wide range of automotive processors enables global OEMs and Tier 1s to develop and deploy the most scalable, safe and secure AUTOSAR-based platforms possible for use in gateways, ADAS, autonomous vehicles, safety/security islands, domain controllers and high-performance zonal compute clusters.
Green Hills has participated in the AUTOSAR organization since 2005. As a Premium Partner, Green Hills is active in working groups defining standards for operating system interaction, security and debugging. With this, Green Hills brings an unprecedented level of understanding and experience around safe and secure integration of AUTOSAR services into a wide range of automotive ECU designs.
Today’s heterogeneous computing platforms with mixed-core processors and multiple operating systems coupled with rising expectations for software-defined vehicle architectures bring great schedule pressure and complexity to engineers creating software responsible for critical vehicle functions using AUTOSAR’s open industry standards for advanced system functions and interfaces.
To address these looming challenges, Green Hills builds on its decades of AUTOSAR experience to support a wide range of possible platform configurations supporting a broad variety of end customers’ design goals, safety requirements and key performance indicators (KPI). Examples of scalable AUTOSAR run-time frameworks based on Green Hills Software’s proven run time environments are:
• AUTOSAR Adaptive running natively on the INTEGRITY® real-time operating system’s (RTOS) foundational separation architecture that isolates and protects AUTOSAR Adaptive applications and services from other platform applications and services. Here, the AUTOSAR Runtime Environment for Adaptive Applications simply runs natively on INTEGRITY as provided by AUTOSAR Adaptive stack suppliers.
• AUTOSAR Adaptive applications and services running on Linux guest operating systems, safely and securely hosted on the INTEGRITY microkernel virtual machine monitor (INTEGRITY Multivisor®).
• AUTOSAR Classic applications running natively on the INTEGRITY separation kernel, enabling the seamless incorporation of legacy AUTOSAR Classic assets into platforms that also run AUTOSAR Adaptive.
