Statistics show that in most of the automotive developments the role of the electronics is getting more and more significant. Some say that today, 90 percent of all innovation in the automotive sector are driven by electronics and software. Many of these developments and innovations affect safety critical functions. Standards like ISO 26262 give guidelines for testing electronic control units. Few...
Developing software for safety critical embedded systems requires extensive testing, and HIL (Hardware in the Loop) test has one of the most important roles in this testing process. Modern microcontrollers can provide opportunities to improve the efficiency and capability of traditional HIL testing. Many of these opportunities are connected to their internal so called Trace interfaces. This paper...
Novel architectures and processors are designed to satisfy the needs specified by functional safety standards, like IEC 61508 and ISO 26262. An example for this devices is the TMS570 from Texas Instruments, which is a SIL3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) capable microcontroller. The question is whether a specialized hardware alone, like the TMS570 is enough for reaching safety goals or additional efforts...
