LDRA Optimizes Functional Safety Software Development with Synopsys ARC Processors
Summary
“Innovation and advances in automotive software are forcing developers to address a rapidly growing set of functional safety and security requirements,” said Ian Hennell, Operations Director, LDRA. “To meet these requirements, developers need to ‘shift left’ their software quality and verification processes while offering traceability and auditability throughout the lifecycle. Together, developers can more quickly: • Comply with coding standards (industry- and user-defined) such as MISRA, CERT and AUTOSAR • Expose high-risk areas and defects via in-depth code analysis, verification and report generation Synopsys DesignWare ARC functional safety processor IP supports safety levels ASIL B and ASIL D to simplify and accelerate application development using a safety-critical automotive SoC. “With LDRA now a member of Synopsys’ DesignWare ARC Access Program, our joint customers can be confident that their tool chain for developing critical automotive applications can be trusted and is best in class,” Hennell confirmed. Working with clients to achieve early error identification and elimination, and full compliance with industry standards, LDRA traces requirements through static and dynamic analysis to unit testing and verification for a wide variety of hardware and software platforms.
