Specifically, we represent IAR, SEGGER, SYSGO, Kvaser, Axivion, QA Systems Cantata, Solid Sands, Embedded Office, Weston Embedded, Inchron, Cypherbridge, and CCS Electronics as their authorized Israeli partner.

ISO 26262 Functional Safety — Full ASIL D Toolchain Coverage

Modern automotive electronics must satisfy ISO 26262, the international standard for functional safety of road vehicles. Importantly, the standard classifies systems by Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL):

• ASIL A — lowest integrity; typical applications include rear-view cameras and basic instrument clusters
• ASIL B — instrument clusters with safety information, parking assist
• ASIL C — adaptive cruise control, engine management for hybrid powertrain
• ASIL D — highest integrity; airbag controllers, ADAS for autonomous driving, electric power steering, braking systems

Furthermore, the standard requires qualified tools through Tool Confidence Levels TCL1, TCL2, and TCL3. Specifically, Sightsys’s automotive portfolio provides full ASIL D / TCL3 coverage:

Automotive Applications Sightsys Tools Support

ADAS and Autonomous Driving

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and autonomous driving stacks demand ASIL D functional safety combined with deterministic real-time performance and timing predictability. Specifically, Israeli ADAS teams typically combine IAR Embedded Workbench Functional Safety Edition, PikeOS for sensor-fusion separation, embOS-Safe for real-time control, Axivion for MISRA-C enforcement, Cantata for unit testing, and Inchron for end-to-end timing analysis. Furthermore, Kvaser CAN FD interfaces handle the high-bandwidth sensor data buses common in modern perception systems.

Electric Vehicle Battery Management Systems (BMS)

EV battery management systems are typically ASIL C or ASIL D depending on architecture. Notably, BMS firmware controls cell balancing, thermal management, state-of-charge estimation, and high-voltage isolation monitoring. Therefore, the toolchain must demonstrate full traceability: IAR Functional Safety compiler, embOS-Safe or Flexible Safety RTOS as the kernel, Axivion for static analysis, Cantata for unit testing, and CCS Electronics or Kvaser data loggers for in-vehicle telemetry capture during validation.

Powertrain ECUs (Combustion, Hybrid, Electric)

From engine management for combustion and hybrid powertrains to electric motor controllers and transmission control units, powertrain ECUs operate at ASIL C through ASIL D. Conveniently, Sightsys’s IAR + embOS-Safe + Axivion + Cantata + Inchron stack covers the full range. Moreover, Kvaser CAN FD interfaces and CCS Electronics data loggers support powertrain calibration and on-road validation.

Infotainment, HMI, and Telematics

Modern in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems mix uncertified Linux/Android stacks with certified safety functions like instrument clusters showing safety information. Notably, this is exactly what SYSGO PikeOS was built for — partition isolation between criticality levels on the same SoC. Additionally, Cypherbridge provides embedded cybersecurity (TLS, SSL, SSH, VPN, IPsec/IKEv2) for over-the-air updates and telematics-cloud communication.

Gateway and Body Control Modules

Automotive gateway ECUs aggregate multiple in-vehicle networks (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay) and translate between them. Importantly, gateway firmware is increasingly ASIL B or ASIL D because it can isolate safety-critical messages from non-critical traffic. Therefore, the Sightsys stack of IAR + embOS-Safe + Kvaser CAN FD + Cypherbridge cybersecurity fits gateway development directly.

Heavy Vehicles, Commercial Transport, and Off-Highway

For trucks, buses, agricultural machinery, and construction equipment, the J1939 protocol over CAN is standard. Specifically, Kvaser USBcan Pro and Memorator products provide full J1939 support, including PGN/SPN decoding via DBC files. Furthermore, embOS-Safe and PikeOS cover the safety side for tractor controllers, telematics gateways, and ADAS retrofits.

CAN Bus, CAN FD, J1939, and Vehicle Network Tools

Automotive networks remain dominated by CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and FlexRay. Accordingly, Sightsys provides comprehensive interface, data logging, and analysis tools:

• Kvaser CAN/CAN FD/LIN interfaces — USB, PCIe, Ethernet, and wireless adapters for development, test, and production
• Kvaser Memorator — stand-alone CAN data loggers for fleet diagnostics and field testing
• Kvaser CANLIB SDK — comprehensive Windows and Linux APIs for custom CAN applications
• CCS Electronics CAN bus data loggers — long-duration data capture with cloud upload for fleet and prototype vehicles
• J1939 protocol support — PGN/SPN decoding via DBC files in CanKing and Database Editor
• CANopen stack — for automotive subsystems also used in industrial machinery

Detailed Product Coverage for Automotive Projects

IAR Embedded Workbench — Functional Safety Edition

The compiler is the foundation of every automotive build. Accordingly, IAR’s Functional Safety Edition is TÜV SÜD-qualified for ISO 26262 ASIL D and ships with the complete safety package — compiler, IDE, safety manual, validation report, defect tracking record, and qualification kit. Furthermore, IAR’s long-term support (LTS) editions match the multi-year lifecycles of certified vehicle programs.

SEGGER embOS-Safe — TÜV-Certified RTOS

SEGGER embOS-Safe is the pre-certified safety version of embOS. Importantly, the microkernel is independently TÜV-certified for ISO 26262 ASIL D, IEC 61508 SIL 3, IEC 62304 Class C, EN 50128, and IEC 60730. Every license ships with the complete certification kit. Read the full embOS-Safe page →

SYSGO PikeOS — Safety Hypervisor for Mixed-Criticality

Modern automotive SoCs run mixed-criticality workloads. For example, an infotainment Linux partition coexists with an ASIL D motion controller. SYSGO PikeOS provides hardware-enforced partition isolation certified to ISO 26262 ASIL D and Common Criteria EAL 5+. Read the full PikeOS page →

Axivion Suite — MISRA-C, AUTOSAR C++, Architecture Verification

Coding standard compliance is mandatory in automotive software. Notably, Axivion enforces MISRA-C, MISRA-C++, AUTOSAR C++, and CWE rule sets — while also verifying that your software architecture stays consistent with its design. Furthermore, Axivion catches cyclic dependencies, unauthorized module interactions, and undefined behavior that simple compilers and free linters miss.

QA Systems Cantata — MC/DC Coverage Unit Testing

ISO 26262 ASIL D requires Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC) at the unit-test level. Therefore, Cantata automates unit and integration testing for embedded C/C++ with full MC/DC coverage. Importantly, Cantata is TÜV-qualified for projects up to ASIL D, runs on host or target hardware, and generates audit-ready coverage reports.

Solid Sands SuperTest + SuperGuard — Compiler Qualification

ISO 26262 demands evidence that the compiler itself does not introduce bugs. Conveniently, SuperTest validates GCC, IAR, Clang, and proprietary compilers against ISO C/C++ specifications, while SuperGuard does the same for the C standard library. Together they generate the test reports and traceability evidence for TCL3 qualification.

Inchron Tool-Suite — Timing Analysis and Trace-Based Testing

Real-time automotive ECUs must meet hard deadlines. Therefore, Inchron Tool-Suite performs static and dynamic timing analysis, models scheduling and bus latencies, and validates timing behavior across CPU cores. Notably, Inchron integrates with AUTOSAR architectures and provides the timing evidence required by ISO 26262.

Weston Embedded Cesium RTOS

For teams previously using Micrium uC/OS, Weston Embedded Cesium is the modern successor with full backward compatibility plus enhanced safety features. Additionally, it provides a familiar API path forward for legacy automotive code bases.

Cypherbridge — Automotive Cybersecurity Stack

Modern vehicles need secure communications for over-the-air updates, telematics, and V2X. Specifically, Cypherbridge provides production-ready embedded TLS, SSL, SSH, VPN, and IPsec/IKEv2 libraries optimized for automotive ECUs. Furthermore, the stack supports the cryptographic primitives required by emerging UN ECE WP.29 cybersecurity regulations.

SEGGER J-Link, J-Trace, SystemView, and Flasher

Beyond compilers and kernels, automotive teams need debug probes, trace, runtime monitoring, and production programmers. Accordingly, the SEGGER J-Link family covers every target architecture from Cortex-M to Cortex-A and RISC-V. Additionally, SEGGER SystemView provides runtime monitoring of embOS, embOS-Safe, and other RTOS applications. Finally, the SEGGER Flasher family supports high-volume automotive production lines.
