Leading supplier of 32 and 64-bit high-performance, low-power RISC-V processor cores, founding chief member of RISC-V International (TWSE: 6533; SIN: US03420C2089; ISIN: US03420C1099 ) and IAR Systems? a global leader in embedded development software and services, jointly announced that IC leaders from Europe and Asia have adopted Andes RISC-V AndesCore™ automotive CPU cores, and IAR Systems has received functional safety certification. RISC-V development tools. This integrated solution, provided by Andes and IAR Systems, uses a sound design approach in compliance with the ISO 26262 standard. Through this solution, users can shorten the strict certification process of automotive products and speed up the time-to-market for customers.
The AndesCore™ automotive core is a functional safety-enhanced version of the N25F. N25F is one of the most popular RISC-V cores on the market, and this automotive core is designed to prevent systematic failures through a rigorous development process, and to control and avoid random hardware failures through product safety mechanisms to achieve Purpose of Automotive Functional Safety (FuSa).
IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V is a full-featured development toolchain including the powerful IAR C/C++ Compiler™ compiler and comprehensive debugger. By combining the expertise of both companies, they can provide best-in-class performance and safety for their mutual customers' in-vehicle applications.
¡°We are delighted to partner with IAR Systems to support the development of automotive SoC products for customers around the world. With AndesCore™ automotive cores, we can ensure that customers can use ISO 26262 certified CPUs during their product certification process IP and Safety Package.¡± Dr. Hongmeng Su, General Manager and Chief Technology Officer of Andes Technology, said: ¡°Andes is honored to be the first company to obtain the German functional safety certification organization SGS-T¨¹V Saar GmbH in hardware at the same time. (ISO 26262-5) and software (ISO 26262-6) process-validated RISC-V processor IP provider with a complete development process to provide customers with ASIL D requirements.¡±
"It is great to see IAR Systems and Andes partnering to assist our mutual customers in ensuring the design of functional safety (FuSa) in their products," said Anders Holmberg, CTO of IAR Systems. "RISC-V technology continues to evolve rapidly. , and open up new frontiers for innovation. We will continue to drive industry change by providing expert development tools and support to the ecosystem and customers.¡±
Andes' first AndesCore™ automotive RISC-V core is expected to be certified by SGS-T¨¹V Saar GmbH in the first half of 2022.
The functional safety version of IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V is certified to ten different standards, including ISO 26262, implemented by T¨¹V S¨¹D. In addition to its robust technology, IAR Systems also provides support for releases sold to customers during maintenance contracts, with verified updates and regular reports for known bugs and problems.
