HighTec's new C/C++ compiler supports ST Stellar series
With its LLVM compiler technology based Development Platform, HighTec provides full support for the ARM Cortex-R52 based multi-core microcontrollers (MCUs).
The Stellar MCUs support next-generation car architectures, which rely on broad “domain controllers” for areas such as Drivetrain, Chassis, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Major applications for Stellar MCUs include smart control for hybrid powertrain, the broad electrification of car systems with on-board chargers, battery-management systems and DC-DC controllers, as well as smart gateways, ADAS, and enhanced Vehicle Stability Controls.
STMicroelectronics named HighTec as compiler vendor in the ST Partner Program that supports the new Stellar MCUs. The HighTec toolset is supported by other vendors in the Stellar ecosystem, such as debugger and AUTOSAR OS vendors.

Optimized RTOS for TriCore, AURIX and AURIX 2G
HighTec is proud to announce that our operating system now has been officially safety approved. HighTec just received the certificate confirming the fitness of PXROS-HR for safety-related applications up to SIL3 (IEC61508) and ASIL-D (ISO 26262).
The certificate includes an assessment report containing the assessment results of the certification authority, TÜV-Nord Systems GmbH & Co. KG. We are really impressed with the thorough understanding of the design principles of PXROS-HR that is shown by the report.
The SIL3/ASIL-D achievement makes our real-time operating system (RTOS) the optimal and safety approved solution for non-AUTOSAR based automotive and industrial applications, including agriculture and forestry machines/equipment.

New version v2.0 of the MCS C Compiler Toolchain was released. New features are:
- HighTec's "NEW" Eclipse IDE supports MCS C Compiler
- Optimization of test operations in conditional jumps
- Optimization of read of ACB register
- Support of intrinsic __mcs_set_MHB()
- Support of section per function and data
- Implementation of errata GTM-IP-304.
The GTM compiler has been developed in close cooperation with the IP vendor and is used by leading Tier1s. The compiler is available as standalone solution as well as in attractive combination "Packs" with compilers for the main CPU.
The most benefit of 'C' programming you can get when using it on architectures implementing GTM/MCS 3.x version. The C code can be mixed with legacy GTM assembly code.
While the C compiler can be used standalone, it can also be used in conjunction with HighTec's C compilers for the main CPU (on which the GTM/MCS core is hosted). The compiler can also be used in combination with other vendor's C compiler for the main CPU.
