Autoliv Advances Multi-Core Software Debugging with TASKING Tools

Auto­liv is con­tin­u­ous­ly evolv­ing its soft­ware develop­ment process­es to address the increas­ing com­plex­i­ty of mod­ern auto­mo­tive sys­tems. As project require­ments expand, the engi­neer­ing teams sought a uni­fied and scal­able debug­ging approach capa­ble of sup­port­ing multi-core and het­ero­ge­neous archi­tec­tures with­in a sin­gle envi­ron­ment.

What is it about

Auto­liv adopt­ed TASKING’s Blue­Box debug­ging tools as part of an effort to stream­line and stan­dard­ize develop­ment work­flows. The tran­si­tion aimed to estab­lish a con­sis­tent envi­ron­ment for multi-core analy­sis and improve effi­cien­cy across diverse projects with­out rely­ing on hard­ware-spe­cif­ic solu­tions.

Autoliv at a Glance

As auto­mo­tive soft­ware sys­tems con­tin­ue to evolve, Auto­liv is advanc­ing its val­i­da­tion process­es to meet grow­ing com­plex­i­ty in embed­ded con­trol appli­ca­tions. The company’s engi­neer­ing teams work across a wide range of safe­ty-crit­i­cal soft­ware func­tions, each requir­ing reli­able and con­sis­tent debug­ging capa­bil­i­ties. This cre­at­ed the need for a uni­fied and scal­able approach that can sup­port future develop­ment and val­i­da­tion activ­i­ties with­out depend­ing on hard­ware-spe­cif­ic work­flows.

Addressing the Multi-Core Debugging Challenge

With the increas­ing adop­tion of multi-core and high­ly inte­grat­ed archi­tec­tures, Auto­liv iden­ti­fied the need for improved vis­i­bil­i­ty into run­time behav­ior, tim­ing inter­ac­tions, and trace data. Tra­di­tion­al sin­gle-core debug­ging tools were no longer suf­fi­cient for the level of insight required in mod­ern safe­ty appli­ca­tions, prompt­ing a tran­si­tion toward more flex­i­ble and com­pre­hen­sive debug­ging capa­bil­i­ties.

When Multi-Core Debugging Becomes Essential

To address these require­ments, Auto­liv imple­ment­ed TASKING’s Blue­Box tools to sup­port multi-core soft­ware develop­ment and val­i­da­tion. The solu­tion pro­vides a con­sol­i­dat­ed debug­ging envi­ron­ment intend­ed to stream­line work­flows across dif­fer­ent archi­tec­tures. Com­bined with winIDEA’s uni­fied inter­face and con­fig­u­ra­tion model, the setup enables con­sis­tent run­time analy­sis and effi­cient ver­i­fi­ca­tion across projects. Addi­tion­al trace and data-sam­pling capa­bil­i­ties fur­ther enhance observ­abil­i­ty dur­ing val­i­da­tion activ­i­ties.

A Smarter, Unified Debugging Solution

By adopt­ing TASKING’s Blue­Box plat­form, Auto­liv estab­lished a stan­dard­ized debug­ging envi­ron­ment that sup­ports ongo­ing and future soft­ware pro­grams with­out rely­ing on hard­ware-spe­cif­ic con­fig­u­ra­tions. The uni­fied setup con­tributes to improved work­flow con­sis­ten­cy, sim­pli­fied daily debug­ging tasks, and clear­er inter­pre­ta­tion of trace infor­ma­tion. This approach sup­ports struc­tured develop­ment prac­tices and helps main­tain reli­a­bil­i­ty across val­i­da­tion activ­i­ties.

Continuing the Collaboration

Auto­liv con­tin­ues to use TASKING’s tools across var­i­ous develop­ment and debug­ging activ­i­ties and is eval­u­at­ing addi­tion­al inte­gra­tion for advanced analy­sis and automa­tion. The ongo­ing col­lab­o­ra­tion focus­es on ensur­ing tool align­ment with future require­ments in auto­mo­tive soft­ware val­i­da­tion and sup­port­ing long-term process improve­ments.
