Green Hills Software has announced the availability of a comprehensive production-focused software development environment for Texas Instruments' new TDA5 SoC family, running on Synopsys' virtual development platform. The Green Hills SDK features safety-certified RTOSes, hypervisor, and multicore development tools to support all Arm processor cores on the TDA5, simplifying software development and system prototyping for vision AI, ADAS, and central compute in next-generation software-defined vehicles.

Why it matters

As automakers migrate to centralized and zonal compute architectures to reduce complexity and cost, the software foundation for these software-defined vehicle designs must be safe, secure, and scalable. Green Hills' production-focused solution, integrated with the TDA5 virtual development kit, enables OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to 'shift left' their development cycle, reduce costs, increase quality, and deliver vehicles to market faster.

The details

The Green Hills SDK for the TDA5 virtual development platform includes the company's safety-certified INTEGRITY and μ-velOSity RTOSes, the μ-visor hypervisor, and the MULTI multicore software development tools. This comprehensive solution supports all Arm processor core complexes on the TDA5, including the Cortex-A720, Cortex-R52+, and Cortex-M55, simplifying software development and system prototyping.

  • The Green Hills production-focused development environment for the TI TDA5 VDK is available today.
