Vector teams for Rust in automotive

Vector and HighTec EDV-Systeme have launched the first successful integration of Rust applications with C-based Autosar Classic basic software.
This removes the last hurdles for the use of Rust in the automotive sector with the integration of with the Vector MICROSAR Classic Safe basic software and the HighTec automotive grade LLVM open-source-based Rust and C/C++ compiler tools.
The tools support the Infineon AURIX TC3x and TC4x microcontrollers so that embedded developers can use the memory safe programming language for functional safety applications. Both Vector’s basic software and HighTec’s compilers are safety-certified according to ISO 26262 up to ASIL D.
“This is a significant step for the future of automotive software development,” said Falco Bapp, Senior Manager Solution Management for Embedded Software & Systems at Vector.
The language was designed for memory integrity and conflict-free concurrency at very high performance, which significantly reduces safety risks, shortens development cycles and lowers costs. Vector sees this as the best choice for safety-relevant automotive systems that place high demands on safety and robustness. HighTec is the first provider of an ISO 26262 ASIL D qualified compiler for the AURIX microcontroller series. Like the C/C++ compiler from HighTec, this uses the advanced open-source technology LLVM and supports all the advantages of Rust.
This toolchain offering allows developers to seamlessly integrate newly developed Rust code with existing C/C++ code. The two partners Vector and HighTec proved that AUTOSAR software components written in Rust can be efficiently embedded in an existing AUTOSAR Classic environment.
The basic MICROSAR Classic Safe software from Vector is an ISO 26262 ASIL D qualified AUTOSAR Classic implementation and provides an integration of application software. “With this new solution from Vector and HighTec, developers create safe, efficient and flexible ECU software by combining the best of Rust and established C-based AUTOSAR development,” said Bapp.
“The joint solution from HighTec and Vector drives the automotive customer with a competitive advantage to build fast safe and secure software”, said Mario Cupelli, CTO at HighTec. “Together with Vector we shape the future of automotive software.”
