Infineon Technologies and Green Hills Software will provide complete automotive Solutions for the development and deployment of advanced safety applications for the automotive industry. This collaboration combines Infineon’s cutting-edge TRAVEO T2G Body and TRAVEO T2G Cluster microcontrollers (MCUs) with Green Hills’ software solutions. It is comprising of the folllowing:
- the ultra-small and fast, ASIL-certified, μ-velOSity real-time operating system (RTOS), and
- the ASIL-certified MULTI advanced development environment.
By integrating these proprietary technologies, Infineon and Green Hills are providing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a complete solution. The solution offers dependable production-ready software to safely build and deploy automotive applications.
OEMs are eager to provide consumers with new and innovative applications to differentiate their vehicles. Equally as important to OEMs is ensuring the safety and security of applications within today’s vehicles. The collaboration addresses both of these elements without sacrificing performance or increasing the memory demands of automotive applications. OEMs now have a comprehensive solution that is also easy to deploy, reducing costs and improving productivity and product time-to-market.
Infineon’s TRAVEO T2G:
Infineon’s TRAVEO T2G Body MCU family addresses a broad variety of automotive applications. The applications include body control modules, door, window, sunroof and seat control units. Additionally, it controls in-cabin smartphone terminals and wireless charging units. Infineon’s TRAVEO T2G Cluster for instrument cluster enables a more robust and feature-rich graphics engine for automotive display systems. It includes extensive scalability, covering the conventional gauge instrument cluster, hybrid instrument cluster and virtual instrument cluster.
Green Hills’ µ-velOSity:
Green Hills’ µ-velOSity RTOS is a tiny, fast and easy-to-program, memory-efficient real-time operating system for a wide range of applications. The application includes those with ASIL requirements. µ-velOSity needs only a few kilobytes of ROM and boots quickly in a minimum of processor cycles. The ultra-small context switch time and fast kernel service calls of this operating system (OS) also make it ideal for real-time automotive functions. And, the clear, concise application programming interface (API) reduces development time. It improves product maintainability, cutting costs and speeding up time-to-market. In addition, for developers moving from standalone or no-OS configurations, µ-velOSity provides a well-established migration path.
Developers utilizing Infineon’s TRAVEO T2G Body MCU family of processors will see a significant increase in productivity. ASIL certification of Green Hills’ compilers and run-time libraries have made Green Hills the industry’s gold standard for C/C++ compilers. MULTI also features the most advanced multicore, multi-OS debugging and visualization capabilities. It empower developers to find and fix bugs faster, use less processor memory, and reduce costly software recalls.
The combination of Infineon’s TRAVEO T2G MCUs and Green Hills’ complete production-proven software solutions is tailored for a broad range of automotive applications such as electrification, body control modules, gateway and infotainment. Through this collaboration, OEMs now have a completely integrated solution that can be quickly deployed with a low memory footprint while still maintaining optimal quality, high performance and system dependability.
