Munich, Germany. TASKING acquired LDRA last year, and on its first anniversary of the procurement, has announced its TASKING toolchain. By effectively integrating LDRA and TASKING competences, the toolchain delivers complete end-to-end compile, debug, and test capabilities.  With the help of AI, the solution fast-tracks the development of real-time embedded systems with built-in safety and security in automotive, aerospace and defense, industrial, and robotics.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Jim McElroy, Senior Director Sales and Market Development, and Janez Ulcakar, R&D Manager at TASKING, discuss what developers, especially in mission-critical spaces such as aerospace and automotive, need to do to produce efficient and productive safety and security-critical applications. TASKING recently acquired LDRA, and the companies have consolidated under the TASKING brand. 

Munich, Germany. TASKING released version v7.0r1 of the VX-Toolset for Arm architecture. Included is an Eclipse-based C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker while also delivering integrated libraries for fast code integration. Safety is certified ISO 26262 up to ASIL D and supports ISO/IEC 9899:2018 (C17) standard.

Munich, Germany. TASKING’s static software analysis tool, the Safety Checker, has been upgraded to v3.0 including Freedom from Interference (FFI) technology. Its Safety Checker utilizes compiled statistical code analysis to base assessments on what it detects as critical memory violations and proactively integrates software components with differing safety needs in memory, even with no MPU (Memory Protection Unit) available. A list of memory violations is generated reducing the amount of time it takes to debug possible infractions. 

Munich, Germany. TASKING released its updated version of the v7.0 of the compiler toolchain VX-Toolset for Arm and the BlueBox debug & trace with winIDEA Debugger, and support for NXP Semiconductors’ S32Z and S32E real-time processors with Arm Cortex-R52 and Cortex-M33 architectures.
