“As vehicles grow more sophisticated, functional safety has become an essential market requirement for electronics software and hardware design technologies,” said Brian Derrick, a Mentor Graphics general manager. “We established Mentor Safe to help our customers navigate the increasingly complex process of functional safety certification with confidence, allowing them to spend more time creating value-added solutions that help to differentiate and win in highly competitive markets.”
The programme includes the Nucleus SafetyCert real time operating system, the Volcano VSTAR AUTOSAR operating system and BSW stack, and a range of ISO 26262 certified documentation and qualification reports for Mentor tools.
