Starter kit enables fast FPGA safety certification
To simplify and speed up the certification and licensing process for FPGAs which must meet standards such as IEC 61508, Embedded Office has adapted its µC/OS-MPU Cert-Kit to Altera’s Cyclone V SoCs using the ARM Cortex-A9 processor, and moulded this into a starter kit.
Altera can as such, in compliance with the IEC61508 standard, offer a pre-certified RTOS as a solution that features functional safety modules (IP blocks) in FPGA technology.
“By using the real-time kernel µC/OS-MPU as a pre-certified component, the µC/OS-MPU Cert-Kit facilitates the application development and considerably reduces the certification process”, commented Thomas Amann, Managing Director, Embedded Office. “The use of pre-certified components presents clear advantages for companies: They can reduce the development risk, introduce their products faster, cut costs and focus on their primary areas of expertise. In addition, they have the assurance of a stable platform that has already been certified multiple times.”
“Altera’s Cyclone V SoC family offers integration and unparalleled flexibility in meeting industrial designers requirements”, added David Moore, Director, Industrial Business Unit, Altera. “The availability of pre-certified µC/OS-MPU complements Altera’s comprehensive Functional Safety solution portfolio and helps our customers reduce their development costs and time to market.”
