MIPS, a GlobalFoundries company, and Green Hills Software, a leader in embedded safety and security, announced a collaboration today. The collaboration delivers a jointly developed Safety Software Development Kit (Safety SDK) to accelerate functional safety certification. This solution reduces time-to-market for automotive and industrial systems targeting ASIL-D and SIL 3/4 compliance.
“By combining MIPS’ high‑performance M8500 architectures with Green Hills Software’s proven safety‑certified tools and RTOS, we are enabling new Physical AI platforms with real‑time, safety‑critical compute for automotive and industrial markets,” said Drew Barbier, VP IP Business Unit, MIPS.
Combined with Green Hills Software’s certified tools and RTOS, customers can achieve ASIL-D and SIL 3/4 development flows, faster verification. It enables real-time motor control and power management on µ-velOSity RTOS, supported by advanced MULTI debugging and certified C/C++ compilers.
“Our collaboration with MIPS will provide customers a complete, certifiable development path powered by our industry‑leading C/C++ Compilers and RTOS technologies, helping development teams deliver safe and reliable software with greater confidence and no compromises,” said Dan Mender, VP Business Development, Green Hills Software.
Scalable Safety-Critical Platforms with MIPS M8500
The MIPS M8500 processor delivers real-time, multi-threaded compute optimized for electric vehicles, motor control, power conversion, and industrial robotics. Its automotive-qualified SoC platform with lock-stepped cores provides a scalable platform for stringent safety workloads.
The Safety SDK integrates MIPS’ ASIL-D functional safety processor with Green Hills MULTI® toolchain, compilers, DoubleCheck™ analyzer, µ-velOSity™ RTOS, and design services. Together, they form a complete hardware-software pathway enabling safety-certified production for automotive and industrial applications.
MIPS and Green Hills collect requirements from early access customers for the Safety SDK, including evaluation platforms, motor control demos, and development tools. These tools and platforms are accessible to qualified users for testing and development
