AUTOSAR is being adopted more and more in automotive electronics. The processors used for executing the AUTOSAR applications and services are more powerful and more complex. Thus there is an increased challenge to manage application complexity, debugging, and function freedom from interference.

Enter Green Hills Software offering to advance the use and deployment of AUTOSAR in automotive electronics based on the INTEGRITY real-time operating system.

This approach delivers the an AUTOSAR and processor vendor neutral solution for combining legacy OSEK, legacy AUTOSAR and/or new AUTOSAR applications and services safely and reliably into a single ECU.

Users can continue to adopt their favorite AUTOSAR vendor solutions. Green Hills has developed an integration with AUTOSAR development and run-time environments that deliver safe separation, debug and execution of AUTOSAR applications while safely combining AUTOSAR applications at different Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) and even from different AUTOSAR vendors.

This approach provides independent and complete memory and time protection while being able to safely combine multiple Scalability Class 1 (SC1) applications onto a single ECU. All of this is made possible by taking advantage of the Green Hills INTEGRITY operating system’s field-proven freedom from interference guarantees.
