Compilers and ADAS aren’t often used in the same sentence. For developers, that anomaly can represent a design challenge, as compilers in general are not designed for this particular application, which also happens to be at the top of the safety and security checklist. 

To understand how these compilers should be tested and implemented, I spoke to Sjoerd van der Zwaan, the Chief Product Officer at Solid Sands, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. 

Sjoerd explains how and why compilers for ADAS are different from general compilers, and why you need to run your compiler through an appropriate series of tests to ensure compatibility.

Solid Sands revealed its accomplishment of attaining ISO 9001 certification thanks to real work put in by the entirety of the Solid Sands team. The achievement adheres to the company’s dedication to supporting innovative services and superior products.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Solid Sands launched Update #4 of its SuperTest Vermeer Release with improvements for safety-critical applications programmed in C++, and the addition of 800 available tests. SuperTest adheres to ISO 26262, and supports the test and validation of C++20 compilers, enabling developers using SuperTest to keep with current developments in C++ programming.

At embedded world 2023 (hall 4, booth 348), Solid Sands will be highlighting its SuperGuard C Library Safety Qualification Suite. The test suite is requirements-based for the C standard library with full traceability between the requirements derived from the ISO C language definition and the individual library tests.

RISC-V Summit, San Jose. Solid Sands will be announcing it has been invited to the RISC-V community as a strategic member at the RISC-V Summit. While attending the show, industry insiders will learn Solid Sands expertise on how to qualify C and C++ standard libraries for safety-critical applications.

Solid Sands and SYSGO have announced new developments in their four-year collaboration.

We’re nearing the end of our ‘Road to embedded world’ series and one of our last stops will be in Amsterdam where the compiler and library testing and qualification technology company, Solid Sands, is headquartered.
