HCC Embedded Launches First Reusable Software Element Developed "Out of Context" for Safety-Critical SystemsHCC Embedded (HCC), experts in high-quality software components for deeply embedded systems, is setting a new bar for the industry with its Safety Elements out of Context (SEooC) approach to developing reusable software components that can be integrated with systems engineered to meet stringent requirements for safety, quality, and portability. HCC has created the processes and environment to build reusable SEooCs and today introduced its first Element: the HCC SafeTCPIP network stack for use in automotive systems. Future releases will map the standard ISO26262 V-model process to other safety-critical standards such as in aerospace, industrial, and medical device markets. "Safety standards promote the reuse of proven software elements; however, reusing software in a safety context introduces complex challenges, such as how to do full lifecycle maintenance on essentially off-the-shelf components," said HCC Embedded CEO Dave Hughes (News - Alert). "HCC has invested extensive time and effort into packaging a SEooC process for deeply embedded software components and we've built the full lifecycle to be a manageable part of our customers' safety development."
SEooC: Proven Approach to Reusing Embedded Software in
Safety-Critical Automotive Systems
SafeTCPIP: Commercial TCP/IPv4 Network Stack Developed to ISO 26262
ASIL B Standard HCC's SafeTCPIP is a complete TCP/IPv4 network stack developed to the ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) B standard. HCC's SafeTCPIP Element fills a critical market need by giving automotive OEMs and suppliers an off-the-shelf solution that has been independently designed to satisfy TCP/IP networking requirements. The reusability of the TCP/IP stack contributes to long-term stability and reduces development costs. Critical to the success of this approach, HCC's SafeTCPIP Element is developed to full ISO 26262 Section 6 processes for integration with automotive systems that require a high safety-integrity level and is supported by an independent software lifecycle for maintenance. The exact verified product that is integrated can be maintained and modified to safety standards independent of any other project that integrates SafeTCPIP. Because it is developed as a SEooC, the Element can be integrated with the company's other safety development lifecycle.
