Our reach in the automotive
industry
We can say that embedded systems and high-quality development processes are part of Tremend’s DNA. When our company started over 16+ years ago, embedded software projects were the main drivers of our emerging business, especially in the automotive industry. Our team gained high expertise in this area, delivering projects from low-level drivers, BSPs, and the firmware on ECUs up to high-end automotive infotainment applications, and autonomous driving systems.
In the previous years, the automotive experts in our department have shifted their focus on the ISO 26262 standard, which defines requirements to be met by the safety-relevant function of the system and processes, methods, and tools used within the development process.
Functional safety engineering
services and your benefits
Our Automotive department offers consulting services to perform functional safety assessments to ensure that our customer’s safety-critical system and software achieve and maintain the required Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) through all the development lifecycle stages.
Tremend’s expertise in developing and guiding functional safety systems means we can deliver on both sides of the V-model.
Relevant experience with safety-critical components
Classical AUTOSAR Basic SW Layer: An entire dedicated team provided by Tremend is responsible for delivering the AUTOSAR MCAL driver stack for a semiconductor company, a world leader in secure connectivity solutions for automotive and embedded applications. Our software engineers have advised, helped to architect, and developed products in the automotive space, dealing with:
- functional safety-aware SW architecture for automotive HMI applications;
- consultancy for implementing automotive-specific development processes;
- pre- and post-silicon firmware validation for safety-critical and power-restricted components;
- low-level firmware and driver development for AUTOSAR MCAL.
Highly automated driving: Tremend has implemented certified functional safety procedures and standards in developing code libraries for a leading OEM’s automated driving software project.
The software implementation follows a certified development and testing process, using leading-edge MISRA C++, Adaptive AUTOSAR C++14, and C++17 features. Our dedicated safety engineers ensured functional safety expertise and agile methods, supported by an automated continuous integration process with static analysis and high MC/DC coverage testing.
All of these were incorporated into a V-cycle development model. The goal we proposed was to achieve ISO 26262 ASIL-D level functional safety software libraries that meet HAD and FAD requirements.
While using our services for building functional and safe systems, you’ll get:
Professional support for all the activities involved in the Safety Lifecycle: analysis, implementation, and operation.
Compliance with international standards IEC61511 and IEC61508.
In-depth knowledge of safety instrumented systems and functional safety management.
