The safe operation of vehicles on our roads today — whether these are powered by conventional petrol / diesel engines, electric motors or a hybrid arrangement — depends increasingly on embedded processors and associated software. Developing such embedded systems is challenging, and must generally be carried out in line with appropriate international standards.
In this sector, one key new standard is ISO 26262, which is the adaptation of IEC 61508 to comply with the needs of road vehicles. More specifically, ISO 26262 is intended to be applied to safety-related systems that are installed in series production cars with a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg.
ISO 26262 applies to all activities during the lifecycle of safety-related systems comprised of electrical, electronic and software elements that provide safety-related functions.
We have created a short brochure that provides an overview of some of the ways in which products and services from TTE Systems may be able to help your organisation to develop reliable embedded systems in compliance with ISO 26262 requirements.

RapidiTTy Lite is a free evaluation product for prospective customers who are considering purchase of our TTE32 high-reliability processors and / or RapidiTTy software toolsets.
RapidiTTy Lite incorporates a full (cycle accurate) simulation of a TTE32-HR2 processor: the toolset can also be used with a popular FPGA platform to implement a complete hardware-based test facility.
RapidiTTy Lite can be used to develop in C, Ada and Assembly language; to perform static analyses of object files in order to determine all code, data and stack memory requirements; and to gather measurements and statistics about runtime performance and timing behaviour of the system (for the simulator or FPGA target).
RapidiTTy Lite is available to registered business users who are considering purchase of our TTE32 high-reliability processors and / or RapidiTTy software toolsets.
Please contact us for further details.

“Patterns for Time-Triggered Embedded Systems” provides detailed coverage of the use of time-triggered techniques in reliable embedded systems.
“PTTES” can now be downloaded without charge from this website.
As an example of the capabilities of the TTE32 processor family, we have released the TTE32-HR2 evaluation processor.
The TTE-HR2 is distributed with RapidiTTy Lite and is fully supported by this tool suite.
A detailed datasheet and programming guide for the TTE32-HR2 is also available.
You can download brochures for the following on-site training courses:
Please contact us for information about other on-site training options.
We provide four full-length training videos on our YouTube® channel.
The videos form part of our certification programme.
