TASKING and Andes announce FuSa compliant Compiler support for Andes RISC-V ASIL Compliant Automotive IP

March 28, 2024

To enable SoC design teams and Auto­mo­tive soft­ware devel­op­ers to build opti­mized and cer­ti­fi­able soft­ware solu­tions.

Munich, Ger­many, 28 March 2024 – TASKING proud­ly announces that its ISO 26262 (func­tion­al safe­ty) and ISO/SAE 21434 (cyber­se­cu­ri­ty) com­pli­ant com­pil­ers now fully sup­port the Andes FuSa cer­ti­fied RISC-V IP. This advance­ment expands TASK­ING’s RISC-V tool suite to include com­pi­la­tion, debug­ging, per­for­mance tun­ing, tim­ing, and cov­er­age analy­sis tools, pro­vid­ing a com­pre­hen­sive solu­tion for auto­mo­tive sys­tems develop­ment.

This mile­stone sig­ni­fies a sig­nif­i­cant stride in empow­er­ing SoC design teams and auto­mo­tive soft­ware devel­op­ers to craft high­ly opti­mized and cer­ti­fi­able RISC-V based solu­tions. The newly intro­duced RISC-V com­pil­er, com­pli­ant with ASIL D stan­dards, seam­less­ly sup­ports both cur­rent and forth­com­ing FuSa cer­ti­fied Andes RISC-V cores. Note­wor­thy is the com­pil­er’s adapt­abil­i­ty to the RISC-V ISA and its exten­sions, includ­ing Andes-spe­cif­ic exten­sions, ensur­ing dynam­ic opti­miza­tion tai­lored to the tar­get device, there­by enhanc­ing effi­cien­cy and per­for­mance.

Andes Tech­nol­o­gy has achieved remark­able mile­stones in the auto­mo­tive mar­ket with the intro­duc­tion of the world’s first RISC-V ISO-26262 fully com­pli­ant core, N25F-SE, in 2022. Sub­se­quent­ly, Andes is about to unveil the ASIL-B cer­ti­fied D25F-SE equipped with the RISC-V SIMD/DSP P-exten­sion sup­port (draft), enabling effi­cient pro­cess­ing of mul­ti­ple data in a sin­gle instruc­tion. Look­ing ahead, Andes is set to launch proces­sors meet­ing the ASIL-D stan­dard, includ­ing the com­pact and secure D23-SE, the high-per­for­mance D45-SE, and the forth­com­ing ADAS-capa­ble core in AX60 Series. These advance­ments under­score Andes’ abil­i­ty to pro­vide tai­lored solu­tions for diverse auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions, high­light­ing its lead­ing exper­tise in the auto­mo­tive RISC-V IP mar­ket.

“AndesCore™ RISC-V IP, cer­ti­fied with ISO 26262, presents a solid port­fo­lio of auto­mo­tive proces­sor solu­tion offer­ing unpar­al­leled level of flex­i­bil­i­ty and effi­cien­cy ben­e­fits to sil­i­con develop­ment,” said Samuel Chi­ang, Deputy Mar­ket­ing Direc­tor of Andes, “Our part­ner­ship with Task­ing enables cus­tomers in the auto­mo­tive indus­try to expe­dite their develop­ment process­es, enhanc­ing the per­for­mance and robust­ness of safe­ty-crit­i­cal RISC-V appli­ca­tions.”

Com­ment­ing on the col­lab­o­ra­tion, Ger­ard Vink, TASK­ING’s RISC-V lead, expressed enthu­si­asm, stat­ing, “We are thrilled to col­lab­o­rate with Andes and their ecosys­tem part­ners. The seam­less inter­op­er­abil­i­ty of our tools with Andes RISC-V IP across develop­ment plat­forms rang­ing from vir­tu­al pro­to­type to sil­i­con imple­men­ta­tions under­scores our com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing com­pre­hen­sive life­cy­cle sup­port for SoC develop­ment teams. Lever­ag­ing TASK­ING’s advanced FuSa and Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty process­es, our users can fast-track com­pli­ance efforts, accel­er­at­ing the time-to-mar­ket of RISC-V based auto­mo­tive soft­ware solu­tions.”
