Green Hills Software, working closely with Texas Instruments and Synopsys, have prepared the most complete, advanced, OS-agnostic software development and debug environment for the Synopsys TDA5x Virtual Development Kit (VDK) enabling immediate access to a virtual TDA5x SoC capable of supporting complete software development, debug and optimization simultaneously on both the Cortex-A720 and Cortex-R52 core complexes, running a wide range of production focused operating systems – all integrated with Texas Instrument’s latest software SDK's.
Availability of this virtual environment significantly reduces the time to develop and deploy solutions on the latest TDA5x SoC’s from Texas Instruments. By using this offering, OEMs and Tier 1s can rapidly transition to the latest in SDV architectures for ADAS, Central Compute, Multi-Camera Vision and AI systems.
A complete offering to simplify software development on the TI TDA5x VDK.
Green Hills’ next-generation software development environment solution for the TDA5x VDK includes:
- Unified environment for software development and debug on Linux, µ-velOSity, INTEGRITY, AUTOSAR, and FreeRTOS
- Integration with the latest releases of Texas Instrument’s SDKs specifically developed for the TDA5x
- Intuitive visualization of system events in a synchronized timeline for the Cortex-A core complex, the Cortex-R52 core complex and both together
- ECU consolidation on the Cortex-R52 core complex of AUTOSAR, FreeRTOS, µ-velOSity and more when using Green Hills µ-visor hypervisor enabled with added advanced RTOS and application debugging
- Small and easy-to-use µ-velOSity safety RTOS on Cortex-R52 cores certified to ASIL D
Green Hills Software uniquely streamlines development and integration on the TI TDA5 with OS-agnostic debugging on Cortex-R52 and A720 cores running Linux, µ-velOSity, AUTOSAR and FreeRTOS.
