Pontedera, Italy and Hsinchu, Taiwan – Aug 29th, 2024 – Resiltech, a renowned provider of comprehensive security and safety solutions and services, and Andes Technology, a leading supplier of high-performance, low-power RISC-V processor IP are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration to deliver advanced Software Test Library (STL) solutions for Andes’ automotive-grade RISC-V processor IP.
This partnership combines Andes Technology’s expertise in delivering cutting-edge RISC-V processor IP with Resiltech’s proven track record in developing robust STL solutions. Together, they aim to enhance the safety and reliability of automotive electronic systems.
The collaboration will focus on enabling Resiltech to develop advanced STL that can perform safety diagnostic analysis against Andes automotive-grade processor IP line-up. The combined offerings from both companies ensure rigorous fault detection and mitigation, providing automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with reliable and safe processor solutions.
Resiltech’s STLs are designed to streamline the safety certification process of the target system providing a pre-certified product specifically tailored for the target silicon without the need of any additional activities, an easy and fast SW integration strategy and additional ad-hoc support for the system safety integration.
Andes is committed to delivering functionally safe automotive RISC-V IP, having achieved company-wide ISO-26262 ASIL-D compliance for systematic development process in 2020. Since then, Andes has released the 25-SE series processors, including the N25F-SE and D25F-SE, which have achieved ASIL-B full compliance and gained over a dozen customer projects. Some customers have already entered mass production and also achieved SoC level ISO-26262 compliance leveraging Andes’ work products. Furthermore, the company plans to release the D45-SE and D23-SE processors including ISO-26262 certification in the coming months, targeting ASIL-D full compliance.
“We are thrilled to partner with Resiltech to bring enhanced safety features to our automotive-grade RISC-V IP,” said Samuel Chiang, marketing director of Andes Technology. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing our customers with the most advanced and reliable solutions for automotive applications.”
Francesco Rossi, Safety Solution Director of Resiltech, added, “Our expertise in STL development complements Andes Technology’s innovative processor IP. Together, we are set to provide the automotive industry with a comprehensive solution that not only meets but exceeds the stringent safety requirements of modern vehicles.”
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing the safety of automotive electronic systems, paving the way for the next generation of smart and safe vehicles.
