MPLAB compiler now TÜV SÜD-certified

New Products | January 15, 2020

Functional safety certifications are required in many industries, but it is often a time-consuming and expensive process. Certifications can also require extensive justification for using specific development tools, unless the tool is already certified for compliance by functional safety experts such as TÜV SÜD.

为此，Microchip技术宣布了其MPLAB XC编译器的TüvSüd认证，以实现功能安全性，从而大大简化了Microchip的PIC，AVR和SAM MicroControllers（MCUS）和DSPIC数字信号控制器（DSC）的功能安全资格过程。为了进一步简化测试和诊断，Microchip还引入了MPLAB代码覆盖许可证，该许可证确定了已经或尚未执行对应用程序影响最小的软件的一部分。由TüvSüd认证的MPLAB XC功能编译器可帮助满足ISO 26262汽车安全标准中指定的验证和验证要求，IEC 61508用于工业应用，IEC 62304用于医疗软件和IEC60730自动电气控制。用于功能安全性的MPLAB XC编译器将包装使用其他文档，用于MPLAB X集成开发环境（IDE）和MPLAB调试器和程序员的资格。没有年度续签费，许可证是市场上最低的解决方案。使用Microchip的MCU和功能安全许可将减少应用成本和上市时间。

Ensuring high test coverage of embedded software using code coverage tools often requires a large amount of hardware modification, expensive software and significant effort searching large data files for pertinent information. The MPLAB Code Coverage product avoids this with less than one percent impact to test time. Through a patented process, code can be tested in a single pass without breaking the code into blocks. This saves time and eliminates sifting through large data files.
