ARM DS-5 Development Studio Extends Support for Functional Safety with LDRA’s MISRA Compliance Tools
Cambridge, UK, Feb. 23, 2016 – ARM today announced the integration of industry-leading MISRA (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) conformance tools into the ARM® DS-5 Development Studio tool suite. The addition of a MISRA-checking capability to its TÜV-certified ARM Compiler and safety qualification kit makes DS-5 the ideal software development platform for ARM-based products in use in safety-critical markets such as automotive, healthcare and industrial automation. LDRAlite™ for ARM DS-5 software is supplied by LDRA, a member of the MISRA Standards Committee. The company has been providing industry safety expertise for markets including avionics, automotive, medical, industrial, and rail for more than 40 years. The LDRAlite tool will be a key enabler for developers creating functional safety applications with the DS-5 Development Studio as it enables compliance with functional safety standards including ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. These standards, used widely in safety-critical applications in the automotive and industrial markets, recommend the use of the MISRA programming guidelines for C/C++ to improve software product quality, consistency, clarity, and maintainability. To achieve MISRA compliance in these safety-critical markets cost-effectively, the LDRAlite MISRA checker automates the process of analyzing code to ensure adherence to the guidelines in the standard, saving time, energy and money compared with traditional manual inspection methods. LDRAlite strengthens the ARM-based functional safety qualification kit by augmenting the DS-5 TUV certified compiler and simplifying the end-product certification process. LDRAlite will be included with DS-5 starting from version 5.24 as a 30-day evaluation and can be converted to a full license through LDRA.
