Green Hills Software Announces Early Access Support for ARMv8-A Based 64-bit Architecture

Green Hills Software, the largest independent vendor of embedded software solutions, announced today an industry-first embedded software development solution built on its INTEGRITY® real-time operating system (RTOS) and comprehensive MULTI® integrated development environment (IDE) for the ARM® Cortex®-A50 processor series. With this support, engineering teams get a risk-reducing early start on their next-generation high-performance/low-power product designs in automotive, mobile devices, networking infrastructure, industrial, Mil/Aero and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Green Hills 64-bit enabled solutions for the new ARMv8-A architecture work with the ARM Fast Model virtual platform and consists of:

• INTEGRITY RTOS which has achieved the highest functional safety certification levels in industrial, medical, automotive and railway, and delivers real-time determinism with high-performance by leveraging the Cortex-A50 processor series featuring a 64-bit architecture and other performance accelerators
• Record-setting Green Hills C/C++ Optimizing Compilers/assembler and 64-bit toolchain
• MULTI 64-bit IDE debugger, MISRA C/C++ code quality adherence, profiler and many other integrated timesaving tools.

The Cortex-A57 processor is ARM’s most advanced high-performance processor, while the Cortex-A53 processor is the world’s smallest 64-bit processor and ARM’s most advanced high-efficiency processor. The Cortex-A50 processor series delivers the power of 64-bit processing with advancements in hardware virtualization and TrustZone® security, an improved instruction set architecture and 100% 32-bit application compatibility to enable the next wave of embedded device functionality which is fully compatible with the existing ARM software base.
