Altium TASKING C compilers for automotive

14 November 2012 Design Automation

Altium has released two completely new TASKING C compiler solutions for automotive application development, delivering support for the RH850 microcontrollers from Renesas and the Power Architecture-based microcontrollers from the Freescale Qorivva/5xxx and STMicroelectronics SPC56 series.

These new development solutions extend the range of popular TASKING toolsets for automotive microcontrollers like XC2000, ARM, ST10 and TriCore. Both new compilers have been developed from the ground up, using Altium’s highly efficient Viper VX compiler technology, not limited by legacy compiler implementations.

This new generation of compilers is optimally as a clean start towards ISO 26262:2011 certified development tools and application development.

Viper is a modern compiler technology fully developed and owned by Altium and, as such, does not depend on components from third parties or the public domain. The use of Viper technology guarantees compatibility to other popular TASKING toolsets which have established a solid ‘proven in use’ reputation with highly efficient and robust code for automotive applications like power train, body control, chassis control and safety-critical applications.

The TASKING Viper technology features MISRA C and CERT C code checking, profiling through code instrumentation and runtime error checking capabilities.
