Compiler support extended to automotive MCUs

Diab Compiler is a software tool suite that includes a C/C++ compiler, an assembler, a linker, ANSI C and C++ libraries, and an instruction-set simulator that is OS-agnostic and supports a variety of processor architectures. Its technology is widely used in mission-critical applications such as automotive, industrial, and aerospace and defense systems. Tested for quality and performance through millions of test cases, Diab Compiler helps customers meet the requirements of ISO 26262, a functional safety standard for road vehicles.

With its new Diab Compiler ISO 26262 Qualification Kit, Wind River has a model-based environment that helps tackle the challenges of ISO 26262 tool classification and qualification. It provides greater guidance in using Diab Compiler in safety-related automotive projects.

The addition of the Renesas RH850 architecture to the Diab Compiler portfolio of automotive microcontroller support provides greater flexibility and opportunities to use the compiler across a wider range of automotive projects. The Renesas RH850 family of automotive microcontrollers offers high performance balanced with very low power consumption over a wide and scalable range of products.

Wind River has updated the development process for Diab Compiler, and this process has been certified to Level 2 of the Automotive SPICE process assessment model. Automotive SPICE is a framework for assessing software development processes for automotive applications.
