Based on long experience in functional safety for embedded systems, the R-Car V2H has been designed to achieve high level functional safety. For example, ECC has been implemented on external memory and CPU caches in order to support system manufacturers’ safety concepts. Additionally, the hardware CRC functionality makes it easy to achieve end-to-end protection of data transfers. In addition, the early adoption of the highly reliable INTEGRITY® real-time OS from Green Hills Software is an important step toward achieving functional safety in both hardware and software.
“Our partnership with Renesas has allowed us to develop an innovative solution for the new revolutionary R-Car V2H ADAS platform,” said Tim Reed, vice-president of advanced products at Green Hills Software. “By introducing the industry’s most trusted real-time operating system-INTEGRITY-and its award winning security and functional safety architecture, Renesas has created an offering that delivers guaranteed real-time determinism and safety to its customers. When I go out and buy a new automobile in the future, I will drive easier knowing that this platform is riding alongside me, guiding my car, and helping me and other drivers stay safe.”
Availability
Samples of the R-Car V2H SoC will be available in September 2014. Mass production is scheduled to begin in October 2016, and is expected to reach a combined production volume of 500,000 units per month by October 2017.
