The Cooperation between Infineon and Wind River

Published:2011/12/16 0:01:00 Author:Li xiao na From:SeekIC

Founded in the year of 1999, Infineon Technologies AG is a German semiconductor manufacturer. Wind River system, Inc is a company providing embedded systems, development tools for embedded systems, middleware, and other types of software.

Infineon optimise Wind River’s Diab compiler to extend its software tools for the TriCore microcontroller. This collaborative work will also include the latest AUDO MAX and future TriCore families. The Wind River Diab Compiler released by Wind River includes enhancements for TriCore architecture resulting in increased performance and smaller software footprint for TriCore developers. The Infineon TriCore 32-bit microcontrollers are ideal for real-time control in automotive applications such as power train, passive safety systems, engine control, energy management, and chassis control.

Wind River Diab Compiler is an embedded software tool suite. A C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, ANSI C and C++ libraries, and an instruction-set simulator are contained in it. With an instruction-set simulator, a variety of processor architectures are available. The mission-critical applications, such as industrial and aerospace and defence systems are the target market of the compiler.

With the growing complexity in automotive electronic systems, and the emergence of new safety standards such as ISO 26262, Users’ demand of software quality is becoming higher and higher; therefore, the cooperation between software and semiconductor vendors is very essential. Wind River is working to provide an optimized software development and deliver Wind River Diab Compiler for AUDO MAX and future TriCore automotive microcontrollers. Moreover, the optimized Wind River Diab Compiler can reduce the hardware costs for automotive system suppliers.
