BWI Group Strengthens Safety-Critical Automotive Software Development
with TASKING Tools

How BWI Group and TASKING sup­port effi­cient develop­ment on Tri­Core™ AURIX™

What is it about

This story describes BWI Group’s expe­ri­ence using TASKING tools to devel­op safe­ty-crit­i­cal auto­mo­tive soft­ware on the Tri­Core™ AURIX™ plat­form, sup­port­ed by close tech­ni­cal and com­mer­cial col­lab­o­ra­tion.

About BWI Group

BWI Group is a glob­al Tier 1 sup­pli­er spe­cial­iz­ing in brak­ing sys­tems for the auto­mo­tive indus­try. The com­pa­ny devel­ops safe­ty-crit­i­cal embed­ded soft­ware for elec­tron­ic brake con­trol units (ECUs) used by major Euro­pean auto­mo­tive man­u­fac­tur­ers.
The BWI Group site in Turin, Italy, is an impor­tant part of the company’s Euro­pean foot­print. The local team focus­es on smart mobil­i­ty solu­tions, includ­ing advanced brak­ing sys­tems, sus­pen­sion tech­nolo­gies, and elec­tron­ic con­trol sys­tems for mod­ern vehi­cles. With strong engi­neer­ing exper­tise, the team sup­ports the develop­ment of safe­ty-crit­i­cal auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions such as ADAS-relat­ed func­tions and regen­er­a­tive brak­ing sys­tems.

Engineering Confidence in Safety-Critical Development

BWI Group Italy approached TASKING and LDRA for sup­port dur­ing a brake sys­tem develop­ment project for a Euro­pean OEM. The project was based on an Infi­neon AURIX™ TC377 MCU, plac­ing high demands on both soft­ware per­for­mance and func­tion­al safe­ty com­pli­ance.

Key chal­lenges includ­ed:

  • Ensur­ing reli­able and effi­cient com­pi­la­tion for a com­plex, safe­ty-crit­i­cal ECU
  • Automat­ing soft­ware ver­i­fi­ca­tion to meet strin­gent qual­i­ty and safe­ty require­ments
  • Reduc­ing develop­ment costs while min­i­miz­ing sched­ule and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion risks
  • Estab­lish­ing a tool­chain that could scale across cur­rent and future brake sys­tem projects

Choos­ing the right licens­ing model and ensur­ing smooth project start-up were crit­i­cal to keep­ing develop­ment time­lines on track.


A Proven Toolchain for Automotive Development

Fol­low­ing close tech­ni­cal dis­cus­sions, on-site vis­its, and com­mer­cial exchanges with TASKING and LDRA experts, BWI Group decid­ed to adopt a com­bined solu­tion:

  • TASKING VX-toolset for Tri­Core™
  • Cus­tomized LDRA tool licens­es for auto­mat­ed code ver­i­fi­ca­tion

The TASKING Tri­Core com­pil­er was select­ed for its abil­i­ty to deliv­er high-qual­i­ty, opti­mized code on Infi­neon AURIX devices—an essen­tial require­ment for real-time brake con­trol appli­ca­tions.

In par­al­lel, LDRA tools were intro­duced to auto­mate code ver­i­fi­ca­tion, enabling sys­tem­at­ic test­ing, cov­er­age analy­sis, and com­pli­ance evi­dence gen­er­a­tion aligned with auto­mo­tive safe­ty stan­dards.

This com­bined approach allowed BWI Group to estab­lish a robust and effi­cient develop­ment work­flow, cov­er­ing both code gen­er­a­tion and code ver­i­fi­ca­tion with­in a uni­fied tool strat­e­gy.

Why TASKING Com­pil­er

BWI Group select­ed the TASKING Tri­Core com­pil­er because it pro­vides:

  • High­ly opti­mized and pre­dictable code gen­er­a­tion for AURIX-based ECUs
  • Strong sup­port for safe­ty-crit­i­cal auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions
  • Proven reli­a­bil­i­ty in pro­duc­tion brake sys­tem projects
  • Close tech­ni­cal col­lab­o­ra­tion and tai­lored com­mer­cial offer­ings

Why LDRA Tool

LDRA tools were cho­sen to:

  • Auto­mate soft­ware ver­i­fi­ca­tion and reduce man­u­al test­ing effort
  • Improve cov­er­age vis­i­bil­i­ty and defect detec­tion early in develop­ment
  • Reduce over­all develop­ment cost and sched­ule risk
  • Sup­port sys­tem­at­ic com­pli­ance with auto­mo­tive safe­ty require­ments

Cus­tomized LDRA licens­es enabled BWI Group to align ver­i­fi­ca­tion activ­i­ties pre­cise­ly with project-spe­cif­ic needs.

Delivering Stability and Confidence

By using both TASKING com­pil­er tech­nol­o­gy and LDRA ver­i­fi­ca­tion tools, BWI Group suc­cess­ful­ly:

  • Auto­mat­ed crit­i­cal parts of the soft­ware ver­i­fi­ca­tion process
  • Reduced develop­ment cost and sched­ule risk for brake sys­tem projects
  • Improved con­fi­dence in soft­ware qual­i­ty and safe­ty
  • Estab­lished a scal­able tool­chain for future AURIX-based ECU devel­op­ments

“Our project is based on the Tri­Core™ AURIX™ archi­tec­ture, and the TASKING com­pil­er proved to be a strong foun­da­tion in terms of effi­cien­cy and com­pat­i­bil­i­ty. Com­bined with LDRA’s auto­mat­ed ver­i­fi­ca­tion tools, we were able to estab­lish a robust develop­ment and ver­i­fi­ca­tion work­flow, sup­port­ed by close tech­ni­cal and com­mer­cial col­lab­o­ra­tion through­out the start-up and develop­ment phas­es.”

— Mr. Marco Fer­ra­to, Soft­ware Team Leader, BWI Group

Building on an Established Partnership

Look­ing ahead, BWI Group plans to con­tin­ue work­ing with TASKING Group to sup­port its ongo­ing and future auto­mo­tive soft­ware develop­ment activ­i­ties.
The com­bi­na­tion of a high-per­for­mance com­pil­er and auto­mat­ed code ver­i­fi­ca­tion has proven to be a reli­able foun­da­tion for safe­ty-crit­i­cal brake sys­tem projects. As sys­tem com­plex­i­ty and safe­ty require­ments con­tin­ue to evolve, a con­sis­tent tool­chain and close tech­ni­cal col­lab­o­ra­tion will remain key ele­ments of BWI Group’s develop­ment strat­e­gy.
