RapidiTTy 61508
RapidiTTy 61508 has been designed from the ground up to help our customers produce cost-effective products which meet the requirements of IEC 61508 and related standards.
A full development kit is available.
Benefits
- RapidiTTy 61508 has been designed for use in cost-effective embedded systems that must meet the requirements of IEC 61508 and related standards.
- RapidiTTy 61508 targets hardware platforms based on dual ARM® (Cortex-M3) processors. The two processors serve as: (i) a target device, for executing user code, and (ii) a MoniTTor™ agent.
- The MoniTTor agent is capable of detecting run-time errors in the target, with a timing resolution at the microsecond level. Detected errors can be handled by: (i) switching to a backup task; (ii) resetting the target processor; or (ii) shutting down the entire system in a ‘fail silent’ manner.
- The MoniTTor agent is fully configured (automatically) using the RapidiTTy 61508 tool suite.
- ‘Commercial-off-the-shelf’ (COTS) microcontrollers are fully supported, helping to keep your production costs to a minimum.
- As with all products in the RapidiTTy family, RapidiTTy 61508 can carry out detailed timing analysis of tasks at runtime, as well as providing static analysis for code, data and stack memory usage.
- Last but not least, RapidiTTy 61508 provides everything you might expect from a commercial-grade IDE (including editor, compiler and debug tools), with a specific focus on time-triggered architectures.
RapidiTTy 61508 as a prototyping platform
RapidiTTy 61508 serves as an effective prototyping platform for safety-related designs based on ARM® processors.
RapidiTTy 61508 can also serve as a prototyping platform for organisations wishing to explore the use of TTE32 processors in high-integrity and / or safety-critical systems.
RapidiTTy 61508 Development Kit
RapidiTTy 61508 supports software development (in C) for off-the-shelf microcontrollers with ARM® cores.
A complete hardware platform is included with the RapidiTTy 61508 Development Kit.

IEC 61508 vs. ISO 26262
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.
SafeTTy™ platforms
The SafeTTy™ family provides a perfect platform for the rapid development of high-integrity control units (e.g. ECUs) for use with electric and hybrid vehicles, monitoring systems for use in automotive, aerospace or medical systems, and many other application targets and sectors.
Members of the SafeTTy family provide complete hardware solutions, based on TTE32 processors and all required interface electronics and support circuitry.
SafeTTy platforms may employ several processors (in “dual lane”, “lock step” or similar arrangements) and / or MoniTTor™ protection systems, in order to meet reliability requirements (up to SIL 3 / ASIL D / DO-178 Level A).

Free one-day workshops on high-integrity embedded systems
Working in partnership with MIRA Ltd, we now offer one-day UK workshops on two topics:
- Developing high-integrity embedded systems in compliance with ISO 26262 and related standards
- Developing high-integrity embedded systems in compliance with ISO 13849 and related standards
These highly-interactive workshops each involve two substantial training seminars, followed by a guided hands-on session (allowing you to put theory into practice).
There is no charge for attending these events, but pre-registration is required.
