HighTec extends support for Stellar SR6x family

HighTec EDV-Systeme GmbH is announcing that its Eclipse-based multi-architecture and multicore compiler suite now provides automotive software developers with the latest code optimization technologies also for Stellar SR6x-based designs. HighTec’s compiler suite has long provided this capability for the SPC5x 32-bit microcontroller family from STMicroelectronics.

The HighTec C/C++ compiler and its standard libraries are qualified according to the highest safety level ISO 26262 ASIL D. The associated qualification packages accelerate the development of safe automotive applications and pave the way for the software-defined vehicle. Specifically, for the Stellar SR6x family, HighTec will also offer its certified microkernel real-time operating system PXROS-HR, for the highest level of data protection, functional safety, and robustness for automotive applications.

Designed from the ground up for function integration and real-time performance, ST's Stellar SR6x family of 32-bit microcontrollers includes multiple series to address a wide range of automotive applications. These include zone and domain controllers that simplify in-vehicle wiring to support the transition to software-defined platforms, as well as central gateways, body integration controllers, drivetrain and motion control processors, and electric vehicle battery management. Stellar SR6x MCUs are based on as many as six Arm® Cortex-R52 cores with lockstep and split/lock capability, ensuring performance, real time processing, and freedom from interference while running multiple applications in parallel.

HighTec offers a range of ASIL D qualified C/C++ compiler for leading multicore microcontrollers in the automotive and industrial sectors such as Arm®, TriCore™/AURIX™ families, Power Architecture (PowerPC), GTM and Renesas. Architectures are continuously adapted and optimized in close cooperation with the silicon partners.
