Freescale Leverages Green Hills Tools for
AUTOSAR Software
AUTOSAR Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) and Operating System
Realize Improved Efficiency
SAE WORLD CONGRESS, DETROIT, MI—April 14, 2008—Green
Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization
(DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS),
today announced that Freescale Semiconductor is developing and deploying
AUTOSAR-compliant software for the MPC551x automotive microcontroller
family with Green Hills Software’s MULTI development
tools for Power Architecture™ technology.
Green Hills Software’s development tools enable developers to create
high-performance, small-footprint, highly reliable software in the least
amount of time and at the lowest cost.
"Freescale has worked closely with Green Hills Software for many
years to ensure that automotive
customers can achieve outstanding performance, minimal footprint
and production-grade quality software running on Freescale’s Automotive
32-bit MPC55xx Power Architecture® microcontroller families," said
Denis Griot, chairman of Freescale EMEA and the company’s global
automotive marketing lead. "Green Hills delivers exceptional code
efficiency with its Power Architecture® compilers and toolchain – a
key ingredient for the success of our AUTOSAR software."
"As the automotive world transitions
to the AUTOSAR standard, Freescale has taken on a leadership role in
providing AUTOSAR-compliant software to improve time-to-market for automotive
developers,” stated David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer,
Green Hills Software. “We are pleased that Freescale selected the
Green Hills tools to maximize the efficiency and performance of this
important software solution."
Green Hills Software Development Tools
Carmakers and their tier-1 suppliers throughout the world have sold millions
of automobiles and trucks with embedded microprocessors running software
built with Green Hills Software’s tools,
because they help ensure the quality, performance, and cost-efficiency
of embedded software. With more than ten thousand users, such as developers
at Ford and Toyota, the MULTI integrated development environment is
a proven technology for multicore software development. Freescale regularly
chooses the Green Hills
compilers to benchmark MCU performance against the Embedded Microprocessor
Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) suite. The Green Hills development tool
suite also includes the DoubleCheck™ static
analyzer and a high speed virtual prototyping environment.
About Freescale’s AUTOSAR Software
As the world’s No. 1 supplier of automotive microcontrollers, Freescale
is creating AUTOSAR-compliant software to help automotive developers
face the challenge of soaring software content in automotive system designs
coupled with ever tighter development deadlines. Freescale’s software
includes a comprehensive suite of optimized drivers that comprise the
AUTOSAR Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL), as well as an AUTOSAR
Real Time Operating System (RTOS). Automotive developers following the
AUTOSAR standard can thus remove porting and driver work from their development
schedules and focus on integration and application software development.
The goal is to achieve improved cost efficiency, ease of use, reduced
development and integration time, and increased quality for the automotive
electronic controller unit (ECU) supplier. The Freescale AUTOSAR software
offering is expected to proliferate across 32-bit and 16-bit MCU families
over the next few months.
