A Safety-Oriented System Hardware Architecture Exploration Framework
By Technical Paper Link - 12 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

New technical paper titled "Safety-Oriented System Hardware Architecture Exploration in Compliance with ISO 26262" from researchers at National Taipei University. Abstract: "Safety-critical intelligent automotive systems require stringent dependability while the systems are in operation. Therefore, safety and reliability issues must be addressed in the development of such safety-critical sy... » read more

Heterogeneous Redundant Circuit Design Approaches for FPGAs
By Technical Paper Link - 12 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

New research paper titled "Evaluation of Directive-based Heterogeneous Redundant Design Approaches for Functional Safety Systems on FPGAs" from researchers at Nagasaki University. Abstract (Partial) "In this paper, we present and evaluates two heterogeneous redundant circuit design approaches for FPGAs: a resource-level approach and strategy-level approach. The resource-level approach foc... » read more

Time For FMEDA Reuse?
By Stefano Lorenzini - 07 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

How do designers quantify safety in electronic systems? Through one or more tables called Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis – FMEDA. In fact, an FMEDA does not have to be a table; it could be manifested in scripts or some other form, but a table is the easiest way to think of this information. Think of an FMEDA for an IP, as the concept extends easily to a system-on-chip (SoC). T... » read more

Traceability Is Not My Problem (Is It?)
By Paul Graykowski - 21 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

What is all the fuss about traceability? If it is that important, should it be handled by a compliance group? Delegating to a separate team would be the preference for most design and verification team members, but it is not possible in this case. Traceability stops short of a big brother organization constantly looking over the shoulders of the development team. The more reasonable approach is... » read more

Verification And Validation Of Automotive Safety Element Out Of Context
By Synopsys - 01 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

With the increased use of electronics and software in the automotive systems, there are strict requirements for complex functions to perform safely and avoid causing damages to life and property in case of a failure. With the technology getting more complex, there are increasing risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures that need to be considered within the scope of functional... » read more

New Robots Require New Ways To Think About Processors
By Lucas Bressan - 12 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

We’re on the cusp of a revolution in robots. After years of relatively moderate growth, sales of commercial and industrial robots are slated to grow by 25% to 35% per year over the next decade, according to Boston Consulting Group, and could reach $260 billion by 2030 to meet the demands of manufacturers, retailers and others to streamline supply chains, enhance safety and boost productivity.... » read more

A Novel ISO 26262-Compliant Test Bench to Assess the Diagnostic Coverage of Software Hardening Techniques against Digital Components Random Hardware Failures
By Technical Paper Link - 18 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "This paper describes a novel approach to assess detection mechanisms and their diagnostic coverage, implemented using embedded software, designed to identify random hardware failures affecting digital components. In the literature, many proposals adopting fault injection methods are available, with most of them focusing on transient faults and not considering the functional safety st... » read more

How Do I Come To Trust An Electronic Component?
By Roland Jancke - 14 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Can I trust all of the electronic systems in my vehicle, for example if I’m driving my car at a high speed on the highway or in city traffic at a confusing intersection? Will all of the vehicle’s sensors work as they should and correctly recognize all of the possible dangers around me? In modern vehicles and complex industrial plants today, a number of sensors and many electronic compone... » read more

Accelerating Automotive Safety Certification With ASIL Compliant Certified IP
By Pavithra Suriyanarayanan - 07 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Pavithra C. Suriyanarayanan and Srini Krishnaswami The autonomous vehicle market is growing at a tremendous rate and functional safety in conventional, hybrid, and electric automobiles plays a significant role in achieving the required certification. Auto makers must go through numerous government regulations that call for increased safety and reliability all the way down to the component... » read more
