Compiler test update boosts Andes RISC-V in automotive
Andes Technology has upgraded its version of the SuperTest Compiler Test and Validation Suite developed and supplied by Solid Sands in the Netherlands to support its growth in automotive chip designs.
Andes, based in Taiwan, is one of the leading suppliers of RISC-V cores to chip makers and announced RISC-V CPU IP that is fully compliant with ISO 26262 functional safety standards, the AndesCore N25F-SE, last year and is planning a RISC-V core with with DSP extension support, the AndesCore D25F-SE, in the second half of this year.

- Andes claims first RISC-V CPU IP with full ISO 26262
Andes continues to optimize compilers, toolchains and libraries, while expanding its support for DSP/Vector and NN libraries for the development tool chain. It provides sturdy and superior compilers and toolchains by using several open-source and commercial test suites including SuperTest.
Solid Sands joined the RISC-V community as a Strategic Member at the end of 2022 and has provided Andes with SuperTest Vermeer Update #3 to support the automotive developments.
“Andes has a very strong foothold in the RISC-V environment and is a forerunner in the widespread use of the technology. The company’s commitment to safety-critical development per se and its ambitions in the automotive sector in particular mean that refreshing with the latest SuperTest Vermeer version is the obvious choice,” said Marcel Beemster, CTO at Solid Sands.

C++ is capable of satisfying the security, functional safety and behavioural requirements of ISO 26262 and is increasingly used in the automotive sector where a substantial number of image processing, signal processing and machine learning algorithms used in a vehicle’s advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) are now written in C++.
The SuperTest Vermeer version was considered to be suitable for the safety-critical requirements and included in the Andes development tool flow.
“Andes’ cutting-edge software development tools, like AndeSight IDE, optimizing compilers and compute libraries, help accelerate the completion of highly competitive products. We appreciate the many essential benefits that SuperTest offers and it made perfect sense for us – as we power forward in the highly demanding and exacting automotive sector – to refresh our SuperTest with the latest Vermeer version,” said Warren Chen, Senior Manager of Technical Marketing at Andes.
