ARM and Esterel to Deliver Software Development Tools for Safety-Critical Systems

ARM RealView Compilation Tools and Esterel SCADE Drive Provides Toolchain for IEC 61508 Certification

CAMBRIDGE, England and ELANCOURT, France, December 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM ; and Esterel Technologies, a leader of model-based design and verification tools for critical embedded systems, today announced their collaboration on a toolchain for safety-critical systems requiring IEC 61508 certification. Under the agreement, work has been done to ensure that Esterel SCADE Suite and ARM(R) RealView(R) Compilation Tools can be combined to provide a seamless software development flow, from modelling and code generation to compiling and debugging, for safety-critical systems in automotive, transportation and industrial control.

The SCADE Suite KCG has been certified for IEC 61508 at SIL3 level, the international standard covering functional safety of electrically-based, safety-related systems. The SCADE Suite automatically generates code that is compliant with IEC 61508, as well as the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) rules for software development in the C programming language. By using SCADE Suite together with ARM RealView Compilation Tools, an integral part of the RealView Development Suite and the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit, automotive system design engineers will be able to significantly reduce the time it takes to develop software, remove errors, and optimize the speed, memory and code size for ARM Powered(R) embedded systems based on the Cortex(TM)-M3 and Cortex-R4 processors.
