Software development support aids compliance to ASIL D
The solution is available in different versions ranging from less stringent requirements as defined in ASIL A up to very strict requirements as in ASIL D.
Arccore’s solution is based on a Basic Software (BSW) developed according to the respective ASIL as Safety Element out of Context (SEooC). For application development, the BSW needs to be connected to an MCAL (Microcontroller Abstraction Layer) with appropriate ASIL. Arccore offers several [of its] own MCALs for this and also integrates third party MCALs. On this basis, customers can directly start developing their own application and evaluating the overall system.
Sontheim Industrie Elektronik (Kempten, Germany) is one of Arccore’s first customers for the ASIL D platform. Sontheim’s eSys-SVCx product family integrates Arccore’s solution including MCAL and basic applications directly on a safety ECU. This saves time and costs spent on platform integration and dramatically shortens the time to start of production (SOP).
“Our safety platform represents a real ‘Safety out of the Box’ solution for automotive software development”, said Thomas Winkler, Vice President Europe at Arccore. “With this, our customer can time and cost efficiently realize ISO26262 compliant systems. Arccore’s safety solution minimizes the huge risks in planning and realizing safety related projects.”
“The safety solution from Arccore offers the perfect basis for our safety ECU”, said Bruno Sontheim, General Manager of Sontheim Industrie Elektronik GmbH. “With our system, customers can directly start their application development without any integration effort. This helps them getting their solutions for smart vehicles ready for mass production.”
