Toolsets integrated to boost compliance in C166 based designs
1 min read
LDRA and Altium have integrated the LDRA tool suite and the Tasking VX-toolset for Infineon's C166 mcu. The move is said to allow those designing with the C166 to comply with safety standards such as MISRA, IEC 61508, and DO-178.
Seamless integration between the two tools avoids configuration challenges and enables developers to apply LDRA's analysis and testing capabilities from within Tasking's IDE. Developers can invoke LDRA analysis phases, gaining access to static analysis violations and code coverage, or quickly generate test cases, executing code on the target or Tasking simulator.
"Today's customer is increasingly asked to certify applications that deliver more functionality within a shorter development cycle," noted Harm-Andre Verhoef, Altium's product manager. "Automated software testing tools, like those of LDRA, deliver standard compliance and scalable solutions that test the applications on the target microcontroller no matter how small the footprint."
"Code reuse has become a fundamental way to cut development costs in today's tight economy," noted Ian Hennell, LDRA's operations director. "Application developers using Tasking's toolset can port code between standards, platforms and markets while maintaining code quality because of the scalability of the LDRA tool suite."
