Saarbruken, Germany, December 5, 2024 - HighTec EDV Systeme GmbH, the world's leading provider of automotive C/C++ compiler solutions, has announced full support for the RISC-V IP from Chipset. The HighTec compiler is an open source automotive C/C++ compiler tool based on LLVM and is ISO 26262 ASIL D certified for safety. Automotive software developers working on RISC-V architectures benefit from these tools to seamlessly support the core to functionally safety-certified RISC-V cores, generating compact and highly reliable code for the most demanding automotive applications with high performance and high safety requirements.
Xinlai has received two Exida ASIL-D product certifications for NA300 and NA900 in the past two years, which confirms the high safety and reliability of Xinlai Automotive grade products and recognizes Xinlai's strong capabilities in developing IP. This is significant not only for the company, but also for the entire RISC-V ecosystem in automotive electronics: With this certification, the company becomes the first RISC-V IP supplier in the world to receive ASIL-D product certification. Xinlai aims to increase the confidence of domestic and foreign customers in using RISC-V to manufacture automotive chips. The HighTec C/C++ automotive compiler meets all technical requirements to take full advantage of the powerful performance and unique safety features of the RISC-V core. The compiler is based on LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) open source technology and is known for its short build time and advanced code optimization features. HighTec's functional safety certified C/C++ compiler also speeds the development and certification of functional safety automotive applications with an accreditation kit.
In close cooperation with Core technology, the SA32D610/408 series of NA900 IP based on core high-performance RISC-V architecture will be officially released as the main core, with the important peripheral IP developed by Sillij, as well as the "fast connection architecture" for motor application scenarios, which will be launched in early 2025.
SA32D series MCU is based on high performance and high reliability RISC-V core, with ultra-high computing performance and rich peripherals. It is mainly used in high-security edge computing and control scenarios such as the BMU of the power battery management system, Traction Inverter, chassis application (ONE-BOX/ESC), area control (ZCU), and some ADAS applications. The range complies with the AEC-Q100 standard and functional safety ISO 26262 ASIL-D. The main features are as follows:
Integrate 6 high-performance RISC-V cores, support dual-core lock step, main frequency up to 300MHz, computing power up to 6KDMIPS;
Super capacity storage, 10MB code Flash, 2MB SRAM, support FOTA upgrade and A/B backup;
Integrated high-level information security engine, support HSM highest level EVITA FULL, support national secret algorithm;
10-way CAN-FD, 12-way LIN and 1-way Gigabit Ethernet MAC, and support for vehicle TSN time sensitive network;
9 high-speed ADCs (up to 180 channels), 7 high-precision Sigma-Delta ADCs, 8 high-bandwidth comparators;
Equipped with SilliJ's proprietary "Fast connection architecture" to achieve efficient linkage and control of PWM/ADC/CMP;
Picosecond (ps) level high resolution PWM, better support trolley high voltage DCDC applications
BGA292/BGA373 package
