Embedded Software

What is Embedded Software?

Built-in software is increasingly used in smart devices, but imperfect code can be the cause of many product failures. Industry leaders estimate that every 1,000 lines of embedded software contain eight bugs. To manage this quality risk and meet the highest standards of software certification, you need to take advantage of integrated software development and verification tools, as well as certified code generators.

Ansys provides a model-based integrated software simulation and development environment with an integrated automatic code generator to accelerate integrated software development projects. System and software engineers use Ansys SCADE solutions to graphically design, verify, and automatically generate critical embedded systems and software applications with high reliability requirements. SCADE solutions are highly interoperable and can be easily integrated into existing development flows, optimizing development and increasing communication between team members.

Certified code generation in all industries

SCADE code generators and verification tools have been qualified/certified at the highest level of security in six market segments by more than 10 security authorities worldwide, including:

• DO-178C to Level A for aerospace and defense applications by FAA, EASA, Transport Canada, CAAC and ANAC
• ISO 26262 to ASIL D for automotive applications by TÜV SÜD
• IEC 61508 up to SIL 3 for transport and industrial applications by TÜV SÜD
• EN 50128 to SIL 3/4 for rail transport applications by TÜV SÜD, EBA and Certifer
• IEC 60880 demonstrated compliance for nuclear applications by many nuclear safety authorities

SCADE accelerates embedded software development and verification process

• SCADE users report the following development and verification cost improvements:
• Alignment of the design process according to the objectives of the safety standard
• Reduction of development costs by 50% on average
• Acceleration of time to certification by a factor of two
