Accelerate Safety Compliance

Faults and failures may be life threatening, so automotive systems are demanding higher levels of functional safety than ever before. Today, it’s vital to enable functional safety from classic automotive applications, such as anti-lock braking systems to sophisticated advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. Arm Software Test Libraries allow checks to be performed for some functions without the need for high levels of redundant hardware.

Software Test Libraries provide a mechanism to deploy testing of the processor while minimizing the impact on the application. They can be run at start-up to confirm correct function before the safety application begins executing. They can also be configured to test during the execution of the application. Impact on the application is minimized as there is no need to reboot the processor after testing. Tests can be triggered in a complete block or as short bursts, which allows checking to be performed whenever time permits.
