Green Hills added support for the newest TI AM26x high-performance microcontrollers including the AM263x, AM263Px, and AM261x MCU portfolios. Green Hills Software’s ISO 26262 ASIL D-certified µ-velOSity real-time operating system provides the small footprint and safety-certified high-performance software foundation while the MULTI integrated development environment enables software developers to reduce the development and debug time required to create products that use AM26x MCUs. This integrated platform is ideal for automated factories and software-defined vehicle electronics that require safety-certification, real-time processing, advanced motor-control topologies, and analytics at the edge.
Simplified and Streamlined Development
Integrated and Validated – The Green Hills products are tightly integrated with AM26x MCUs and include:
µ-velOSity RTOS – safety-certified, small footprint, simple API, efficient execution
TI Driver Porting Layer (DPL) Integration – instant access to complete device driver support for the AM263x/AM263Px/AM261x
MULTI IDE and multicore debugger with TimeMachine that debugs forward and backward in program execution
TI SysConfig Integration – visualization and automation for AM26x MCU driver configuration
History Viewer – intuitive visualization of system events over time, correlated to source code
Safety-certified C/C++ optimizing compilers and run-time libraries – highest performance, smallest code size
MISRA C Adherence Wizard – Integrated enforcement of MISRA C rules
DoubleCheck – for user-based static source code analysis at the time of link and compile
Green Hills Probe for high-speed, multicore trace and JTAG debugging and board bring-up
Find and Fix Bugs Faster – Time-saving features include multicore OS-aware debugging, trace-powered TimeMachine back-in-time debugging and History system event visualization.
Efficient Use of Processor Resources – Green Hills Optimizing Compilers for C/C++ produce the smallest code with the highest performance.
Resolve Software Problems Sooner – Static source code analysis with DoubleCheck automatically runs during compilation, enabling engineers to detect and resolve problems more efficiently and earlier in the development cycle.
Satisfying Safety- and Security-Critical Requirements
The µ-velOSity RTOS and Green Hills Compilers and run-time libraries are certified to ISO 26262 ASIL D (Automotive), IEC 61508 SIL 3 (Industrial) and EN 50128/50657 SIL 4 (Railway)
The safety team at Green Hills offers services to help customers design and certify their safety systems
The AM26x MCU portfolio has multiple pin-to-pin compatible devices with up to four 400MHz Arm Cortex-R5F cores that can be programmed to run in lockstep or dual-core mode supporting ASIL D
System MPU and a dedicated MPU per Arm Cortex-R5F core
Other safety and security hardware features include: cryptographic acceleration and secure boot through a Hardware Security Module (HSM), Error-Correcting Code (ECC), Built-In Self-Test (BIST) and other processor integrity checking
Availability:The safety-certified µ-velOSity RTOS and MULTI IDE from Green Hills Software for the AM26x MCU portfolio are available today for use on the TI AM26x Launchpad hardware platforms. For more information, go to: https://www.ghs.com/products/sitara-am263x.html.
