Designing a Complex Software Stack with Hardware Safety Assurance

Functional safety is critical for today’s most advanced applications—automated vehicles, intelligent avionics, and automated factories. But as systems grow more complex, traditional approaches like Dual-Core Lockstep become costly and impractical, leaving developers searching for scalable, certifiable alternatives.

This resource explores how next-generation techniques such as Software Test Libraries (STL) and adaptive OS platforms enable teams to meet strict safety standards without sacrificing performance or efficiency. You’ll learn how to navigate integration challenges and make smarter design choices that accelerate certification.

What you’ll learn:

• Why functional safety matters more than ever in aerospace and industrial systems
• The tradeoffs between Dual-Core Lockstep and modern, software-based approaches
• How Software Test Libraries (STL) help reduce cost and complexity while meeting ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 requirements
• The role of adaptive OS platforms (e.g., AUTOSAR Adaptive) in managing multi-core SoCs
• Practical considerations for STL integration that impact validation, performance, and certification success
