The vehicles of the future will contain more and more safety-critical systems. Because of frequent changes, automatic code generators are increasingly being used in software development. The current safety standard for vehicle development, IEC61508, is designed for manual software development and provides very little support for selecting and using code generators for software in safety-critical systems. The approach used by ATENA Engineering is based on experience and standards from aviation and uses dSPACE’s TargetLink for automatic generation of code for safety-critical systems.
