HighTec announce the launch of HighTec Rust and C/C++ Arm Development Platform
HighTec EDV-Systeme has announced the release of their HighTec Rust and C/C++ Arm Development Platform. The latest version v10.0.0 broadens its device support, integrates LLVM 17 to boost performance, supports memory-safe Rust for hybrid development with legacy C/C++ and comes with comprehensive qualification kits to speed up safety and security certification. HighTec’s toolchain for Rust and C/C++ Arm development is qualified according to the highest functional safety standard ISO 26262 up to ASIL D and the cybersecurity standard ISO 21434.
HighTec is known for basing their compilers on the proven open-source technology LLVM – upgraded now to LLVM 17 – which enables software designers to generate faster and more efficient code. With the latest v10.0.0 of its Rust and C/C++ Arm Development Platform, HighTec offers a unified toolchain for hybrid development with Rust and C/C++ on Arm devices: Developers can build on their legacy C/C++ code base and integrate modern Rust code. Even existing automotive software such as MCAL and AUTOSAR can be reused without modification, and Rust software components can be deployed on application level.
To meet the highest safety and security standards required in the automotive industry, HighTec has had its Arm LLVM C/C++ compiler certified up to ASIL D, the highest level of functional safety as defined by ISO 26262, and aligned with the cybersecurity requirements of ISO 21434. The safety qualification kits provided with the HighTec tool suite facilitate the development and certification of Even safety-critical applications, which helps automotive software developers to speed up their certification process.
With the latest version, HighTec also extends the list of supported devices: Embedded software engineers can use the HighTec Rust and C/C++ Arm Development Platform for the latest architectures, including 32-bit Arm Cortex-A, Cortex-R, and Cortex-M. This broad support ensures compatibility and flexibility for developers working on single and multicore Automotive applications.
