Partnership - IAR
Accelerate safe and compliant software development for automotive SoCs
The ETAS and IAR Systems partnership combines decades of expertise in in-vehicle software platforms and advanced development tools. We deliver robust solutions that accelerate time to production for modern SoCs, enabling efficient management of complex multicore workloads while meeting stringent safety and compliance mandates.
Your challenges
Master complex multicore workloads
Managing robust software stacks and multicore workloads in domain/zonal control and central compute architectures is critical.
Overcome safety & compliance pressures
ISO 26262 mandates continuous enforcement of secure coding standards and runtime correctness, increasing development burden.
Eliminate debugging bottlenecks
Limited insight into concurrent execution, call stacks, and memory behavior increases risk and delays in complex automotive systems.
Accelerate time-to-market
Disconnected workflows and manual safety/security checks slow development, integration, and time to market.
Our Joint Solution: ETAS & IAR accelerate your development
ETAS and IAR Systems GmbH deliver complementary solutions that seamlessly integrate into modern CI/CD workflows, addressing critical development challenges:
- ETAS RTA-CAR: Provides robust AUTOSAR and middleware solutions supporting complex multicore and partitioned workloads, enabling consolidation of domain functions.
- IAR C/C++ Build Tools: ISO 26262 certified compilers, assemblers, and linkers for various architectures (ARM, RISC-V, RH850), optimizing firmware with low resource usage.
- IAR Static Analysis Tool: ISO 26262 certified tool enforcing secure coding standards like MISRA C++:2023 and CERT C/C++ for compliance.
- IAR Multicore Debugger: Offers real-time ETM trace and function profiling to detect race conditions and timing issues across cores, with correlated code coverage.
- IAR Runtime Analysis: Identifies hidden execution errors including stack corruption, heap leaks, and arithmetic overflows.
