Always at the forefront of providing
tools for the most recent processors, HighTec EDV-Systeme
GmbH has just announced the support of their C/C++ Compiler
Suite for NXP® Semiconductors’ new S32Z and S32E families of
real-time processors. The new processors extend the NXP S32
Automotive Platform within and across domains for vehicle
control, vehicle networking, as well as body and comfort
features, and target automotive software developers for safe
and securely connected vehicles. HighTec’s ISO 26262 ASIL D
qualified Arm® compiler supports the AUTOSAR® Adaptive
Platform that relies on C++14 language standard and
generates an optimized target code for safety critical
applications. As a long-standing tools partner for NXP and
their S32 Automotive Platform devices, HighTec provides a
proven and modern compiler technology for the most recent
architectures.
The new NXP S32Z and S32E processors offer a fully scalable
automotive computing architecture focusing on vehicle safe
control, driving propulsion domain control, and
electrification of the vehicles. This new class of
automotive processors addresses the key market trends in
automotive such as the ECU consolidation, domain and zonal
control, and software-defined vehicles (SDV) with
high-performance real-time processing. The gigahertz-class
processors with Arm® Cortex-R52 and Cortex-M33 processor
cores support a high level of ECU consolidation with virtual
machines using “core-to-pin” hardware isolation. These new
processors support the latest GTM 4.1, memory up to 64 MB of
flash memory, and LPDDR flash/DRAM to support AUTOSAR
Adaptive island platforms for SDV. These processors are
designed according to processes that were certified to ISO
26262 for functional safety and ISO 21344 for cybersecurity,
including support for embedded cryptography accelerators./
The HighTec C/C++ Compiler is based on innovative LLVM
open-source technology and covers the full range of Arm®
Cortex-A, Cortex-R and Cortex-M architectures. The Arm®
compiler supports Cortex-R52 and Cortex-M33 processors
cores, and its certified standard libraries comply to the
highest safety level ISO 26262 ASIL D. In addition to the
Arm® compiler, HighTec offers a standalone GTM/MCS compiler
enabling C programming for the latest GTM IP 4.1 for
automotive applications. The suite also supports the AUTOSAR
Adaptive standard and includes compiler security extensions.
HighTec is known for its reliable technical support and
ensures successful design-ins. HighTec offers a set of
technical training sessions such as an introduction to
AUTOSAR and application support to use with NXP Real-Time
Drivers (MCAL).
“Future mobility, driven by electric and autonomous
vehicles, will require safe solutions that can leverage
high-performance processors,” said Simona-Sorina Costinescu,
Software Manager for Automotive Processing Business Line at
NXP. “The latest NXP S32Z and S32E families of real-time
processors provide a processing foundation ideally
positioned to address the needs of these solutions – and the
HighTec C/C++ Compiler Suite facilitates the development of
safe and secure software, while leveraging the high
performance of the overall platform.”
In close cooperation with the silicon partner, HighTec has
been providing early-stage tool support for all of NXP’s S32
Automotive Platform products for:
