Safety Option for ARC EM Cores
DesignWare® ARC® EM Processors with the Safety Enhancement Package (SEP) Option are ASIL D ready certified and designed for use in ISO 26262 safety-compliant automotive applications. The ARC EM Processor families include key hardware features necessary for safety-critical applications such as parity support, ECC support, integrated watchdog timer and an optional Memory Protection Unit (MPU). The Safety Enhancement Package includes hardware to support creation of a lockstep configuration and detailed ISO 26262 safety documentation.
Synopsys also offers an ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit for Safety as a complete solution for developing, debugging, and optimizing embedded software targeted for ARC processors in safety applications. The toolkit includes the Automotive Safety Integrity Level D (ASIL-D) certified DesignWare ARC MetaWare Compiler and accompanying safety documentation, helping developers of safety critical system to fulfill the requirements of the ISO 26262 standard.
ARC EM Processors with SEP option and the for Safety with full safety collateral including a safety manual and safety guide, provide a simplified path for automotive designers to achieve ISO26262 ASIL D compliance.
