TASKING Accelerates the Development and Verification of Safety- and Security-Critical AUTOSAR Compliant Systems 

TASKING opti­mizes AUTOSAR soft­ware develop­ment work­flows from require­ments through ver­i­fi­ca­tion and deploy­ment with inte­gra­tion of and enhance­ments to its com­pil­er tools (VX-toolset and Smart­Code), Blue­Box debug­gers, winIDEA IDE, and the LDRA tool suite  

MUNICH – March 9, 2026 – TASKING, a glob­al leader in high-per­for­mance embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment tools, today announced expan­sion of the inte­grat­ed TASKING tool­chain to opti­mize AUTOSAR work­flows for mul­ti­core auto­mo­tive sys­tems that must adhere to func­tion­al safe­ty and secu­ri­ty man­dates. Exam­ple cus­tomer appli­ca­tions include soft­ware-defined vehi­cles, ADAS/ADS (auto­mat­ed brak­ing, auto­mat­ed steer­ing, info­tain­ment, telem­at­ics, adap­tive cruise con­trol), zone con­trollers, cen­tral con­trol units, bat­tery man­age­ment, chas­sis, and pow­er­train sys­tems. 

Enhance­ments to the tool­chain include more effi­cient com­pi­la­tion, cer­ti­fied libraries, exten­sive debug­ging and pro­fil­ing capa­bil­i­ties, and accu­rate, in-depth sys­tem analy­sis and ver­i­fi­ca­tion. Togeth­er, these improve­ments cre­ate a best-in-class solu­tion to build, opti­mize, ver­i­fy, and deploy com­plex auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions faster, with less risk, and at a lower develop­ment cost.  

The TASKING tool­chain seam­less­ly inte­grates com­plete end-to-end com­pile, debug, and test capa­bil­i­ties to accel­er­ate the full develop­ment life­cy­cle from require­ments through ver­i­fi­ca­tion, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, and deploy­ment of func­tion­al­ly safe and secure embed­ded real-time sys­tems. Tools designed to work togeth­er enable unique capa­bil­i­ties dif­fi­cult or impos­si­ble to achieve using indi­vid­ual tools, includ­ing assess­ing, opti­miz­ing, and mit­i­gat­ing hid­den mul­ti­core tim­ing inter­fer­ence issues. In addi­tion, AI-assist­ed automa­tion takes over many tedious and time-con­sum­ing man­u­al tasks, free­ing devel­op­ers to focus on value-added design. 

“TASKING is already a trust­ed part­ner in the AUTOSAR ecosys­tem as a cer­ti­fied tool sup­pli­er,” said Christoph Her­zog, Co-CEO of TASKING. “With this release, we now offer a high­ly opti­mized tool­chain that specif­i­cal­ly address­es the chal­lenges of design­ing and cer­ti­fy­ing AUTOSAR-based mul­ti­core sys­tems where per­for­mance, func­tion­al safe­ty, and secu­ri­ty are essen­tial. We achieved this by com­bin­ing our high-per­for­mance com­pi­la­tion and debug­ging tech­nol­o­gy with the industry’s most advanced soft­ware qual­i­ty analy­sis, ver­i­fi­ca­tion, and com­pli­ance man­age­ment tools.” 

Opti­mized for AUTOSAR-based Appli­ca­tions 

The AUTo­mo­tive Open Sys­tem ARchi­tec­ture (AUTOSAR) is a stan­dard­ized soft­ware archi­tec­ture frame­work used by the auto­mo­tive indus­try to define a com­mon plat­form for devel­op­ing mod­u­lar, reusable, and inter­op­er­a­ble soft­ware for Elec­tron­ic Con­trol Units (ECUs).  AUTOSAR-based sys­tems today use advanced mul­ti­core proces­sors and enable the use of excep­tion­al­ly pow­er­ful and com­plex soft­ware. To address these chal­lenges, the TASKING tool­chain includes: 

  • Lat­est com­pil­er and linker/locator tech­nol­o­gy to build high-per­for­mance and func­tion­al­ly safe auto­mo­tive pro­duc­tion soft­ware lever­ag­ing the AUTOSAR plat­form 
  • Tar­get­ed and proven sup­port of each device and all cores for var­i­ous micro­con­troller unit (MCU) fam­i­lies empow­er­ing the plat­form   
  • Industry’s Go-to Com­pil­er Tool­chain for AUTOSAR Micro­con­troller Abstrac­tion Layer (MCAL) build and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion 
  • Indus­try-lead­ing tim­ing analy­sis and mul­ti­core pro­fil­ing lever­ag­ing advanced tim­ing capa­bil­i­ties built into Blue­Box debug­gers 
  • Com­pre­hen­sive test­ing and ver­i­fi­ca­tion of auto­mo­tive soft­ware appli­ca­tions, includ­ing those run­ning on an AUTOSAR stack 
  • AUTOSAR OS aware­ness enabled with debug/trace tools 
  • AUTOSAR cod­ing stan­dards com­pli­ance 
  • AUTOSAR appli­ca­tion test­ing and struc­tur­al cov­er­age analy­sis 
  • Broad­est sup­port of phys­i­cal and vir­tu­al AUTOSAR-based tar­gets 
  • Sup­port for ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 
  • Sup­port through ASIL D 

The TASKING tool­chain also enables con­tin­u­ous inte­gra­tion, con­tin­u­ous deploy­ment, and con­tin­u­ous ver­i­fi­ca­tion (CI/CD/DV).  It is qual­i­fied for func­tion­al safe­ty and secu­ri­ty, and lever­ages tar­get hard­ware vir­tu­al­iza­tion to enable pre-sil­i­con develop­ment and test­ing. The tool­chain also enables glob­al team col­lab­o­ra­tion and project man­age­ment, as well as sim­pli­fies fleet license man­age­ment. 

TASKING has opti­mized its tool­chain for use with many mul­ti­core proces­sors intend­ed for auto­mo­tive sys­tems, includ­ing the Infi­neon AURIX (Tri­core), NXP S32K, and Rene­sas RH850 fam­i­lies. For exam­ple, TASKING tools are part of the Infi­neon  DRIVECORE soft­ware bun­dles that stream­line appli­ca­tion develop­ment on Infi­neon micro­con­trollers. 

“TASKING works direct­ly with indus­try lead­ers in AUTOSAR-based tech­nol­o­gy,” Her­zog said. “Early part­ner access to tech­nol­o­gy enables us to devel­op tools opti­mized for AUTOSAR-based archi­tec­tures, which in turn gives our cus­tomers a com­pet­i­tive edge. We are com­mit­ted to con­tin­u­ing to deliv­er the advanced tools OEMs need to deliv­er func­tion­al­ly safe and secure auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions.” 

LDRA, which TASKING acquired in 2025, is a mem­ber of both the Rene­sas R-Car Con­sor­tium and Rene­sas Ready Part­ner Net­work. Both TASKING and LDRA are offi­cial NXP part­ners and part of the NXP S32K Part­ner Ecosys­tem.  In addi­tion, TASKING is a pre­ferred part­ner of Infi­neon Tech­nolo­gies. 

Learn how the TASKING tool­chain is chang­ing the way the world devel­ops embed­ded soft­ware. The over­all com­pile – debug – test port­fo­lio, includ­ing AI capa­bil­i­ties, will be show­cased by TASKING at Embed­ded World 2026, in Hall 4, Booth 4-150.
