Green Hills Software has announced that its Integrity Multivisor secure virtualization and advanced development tools now support implementation of Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) on different 64-bit automotive grade SoCs. 

This means that AGL applications can be added to automotive systems meeting the ISO 26262 safety levels. So that AGL-based connected car applications will run in secure partitions alongside safety-critical and security-critical functions including instrument clusters, rear-view camera, ADAS, OTA, gateway and V2X. 

The Automotive Grade Linux project is a collaborative cross-industry effort developing an open software stack for the software defined automotive cockpit and hosted by The Linux Foundation.

Green Hills, which is a member for AGL, demonstrated a consolidated integrated cockpit that incorporates AGL at the recent Automotive Linux Summit in Tokyo. 

The Integrity RTOS and Multivisor hypervisor run a safety-critical instrument cluster alongside AGL-based infotainment applications. Both domains safely share high-performance and smooth 3D OpenGL graphics provided by the cross-platform Qt Automotive Suite graphics framework.

Automotive-grade SoC support includes Qualcomm Technologies, Renesas, NXP, Intel, STMicroelectronics and Nvidia.

The Integrity RTOS architecture is certified at the highest levels of automotive safety – ISO 26262 ASIL D and EAL 6+, Separation Kernel Protection Profile, Common Criteria.
