Driving Automotive Innovation with TASKING’s Compiler

Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia accel­er­ates power appli­ca­tion con­trol soft­ware develop­ment for Infi­neon AURIX™ TC3xx-based sys­tems using TASKING’s high-per­for­mance com­pil­er and proven auto­mo­tive tool­chain.

What is it about

By adopt­ing the TASKING Tri­Core Toolset, Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia enhanced the per­for­mance and reli­a­bil­i­ty of its power appli­ca­tion con­trol soft­ware, achiev­ing mea­sur­able time and cost sav­ings.

About Flex Automotive R&D Romania

Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia, part of Flex Ltd., is a spe­cial­ized engi­neer­ing cen­ter with­in the company’s glob­al develop­ment net­work. The team focus­es on advanced auto­mo­tive soft­ware and sys­tem develop­ment, con­tribut­ing to Flex’s exper­tise in design, man­u­fac­tur­ing, and sup­ply chain solu­tions across more than 30 coun­tries. In Roma­nia, the auto­mo­tive R&D divi­sion pro­vides end-to-end engi­neer­ing capa­bil­i­ties — from prod­uct design and embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment to test­ing and sys­tem inte­gra­tion — serv­ing glob­al cus­tomers in safe­ty-crit­i­cal domains such as auto­mo­tive, com­put­ing, and indus­tri­al tech­nol­o­gy.

Facing Automotive Complexity

As part of its con­tin­u­ous inno­va­tion in auto­mo­tive elec­tron­ics, Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia set out to devel­op a next-gen­er­a­tion power appli­ca­tion unit based on the Infi­neon AURIX™ TC377TP micro­con­troller. The project required deter­min­is­tic real-time per­for­mance, strict func­tion­al safe­ty com­pli­ance, and high code efficiency—targets that its exist­ing gener­ic com­pil­er could no longer meet. To over­come these chal­lenges, the engi­neer­ing team eval­u­at­ed sev­er­al alter­na­tives and ulti­mate­ly select­ed the TASKING Tri­Core Toolset for TC3xx as the most capa­ble and future-proof solu­tion.

The deci­sive fac­tor was TASKING’s proven per­for­mance and reli­a­bil­i­ty in pre­vi­ous Flex Auto­mo­tive projects, where it con­sis­tent­ly helped reduce build times, improve run­time behav­ior, and sim­pli­fy debug­ging. By replac­ing the out­dat­ed tool­chain, Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia achieved short­er develop­ment cycles, lower engi­neer­ing costs, and high­er pre­dictabil­i­ty in safe­ty-crit­i­cal code. This expe­ri­ence gave the team full con­fi­dence that TASKING would again ensure real-time pre­ci­sion and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty for the new power appli­ca­tion.

Powering Performance with TASKING

The TASKING Tri­Core Toolset for TC3xx is specif­i­cal­ly designed for Infi­neon AURIX™ archi­tec­tures, offer­ing archi­tec­ture-spe­cif­ic opti­miza­tions, pre­dictable real-time behav­ior, and built-in ISO 26262 func­tion­al safe­ty sup­port. Its deep inte­gra­tion with Infi­neon hard­ware and AUTOSAR envi­ron­ments enabled smooth migra­tion, min­i­mized setup effort, and allowed engi­neers to focus on opti­miz­ing con­trol algo­rithms instead of low-level debug­ging. As a result, Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­ni­a­ex­pe­ri­enced a develop­ment process that seam­less­ly com­bined effi­cien­cy, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and safe­ty under demand­ing auto­mo­tive con­di­tions.

Results & Impact

By adopt­ing the TASKING Tri­Core Toolset, Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia achieved sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments across develop­ment and per­for­mance met­rics:

  • Replaced an out­dat­ed com­pil­er that could not meet tim­ing pre­dictabil­i­ty require­ments
  • 30% reduc­tion in develop­ment and inte­gra­tion time
  • Lower over­all project costs through reuse and faster deploy­ment
  • Improved run­time effi­cien­cy and mem­o­ry uti­liza­tion
  • Sta­ble, deter­min­is­tic real-time per­for­mance under full load
  • Con­sis­tent func­tion­al-safe­ty-com­pli­ant results across projects

TASKING’s proven com­pil­er per­for­mance enabled Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia to deliv­er a high-qual­i­ty power appli­ca­tion solu­tion on time, with­in bud­get, and in full com­pli­ance with auto­mo­tive safe­ty stan­dards.

“We chose the TASKING com­pil­er because it is specif­i­cal­ly opti­mized for Infi­neon AURIX™ and Tri­Core™ archi­tec­tures, ensur­ing supe­ri­or per­for­mance and com­pat­i­bil­i­ty. Its strong results in pre­vi­ous Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D projects gave us full con­fi­dence. By replac­ing our old com­pil­er, we were able to save both time and cost while achiev­ing the real-time pre­ci­sion our power appli­ca­tion required. With famil­iar tools and excel­lent sup­port, imple­men­ta­tion went smooth­ly.”

Continuing the Journey

Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia con­tin­ues to strength­en its exper­tise in auto­mo­tive power elec­tron­ics and embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment. With TASKING’s reli­able and safe­ty-cer­ti­fied tool­chain for the AURIX™ archi­tec­ture, the team is well-posi­tioned to fur­ther opti­mize per­for­mance, stream­line work­flows, and uphold the high­est func­tion­al safe­ty stan­dards in future projects. Through this col­lab­o­ra­tion, TASKING has expand­ed its foot­print in Roma­nia and deep­ened its part­ner­ship with­in Flex Automotive’s glob­al develop­ment net­work. Togeth­er, TASKING and Flex Auto­mo­tive R&D Roma­nia remain com­mit­ted to deliv­er­ing inno­v­a­tive and depend­able soft­ware solu­tions for the next gen­er­a­tion of auto­mo­tive appli­ca­tions.
