CVE-2021-44228 Statement

HighTec IDE 2.x/3.x and Apache Log4j CVE-2021-44228

A vulnerability CVE-2021-44228 affecting Apache Log4j was discovered.

HighTec development team performed an investigation to assess the impact of the reported vulnerability CVE-2021-44228 on HighTec Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 2.x and 3.x. Our conclusion is the HighTec IDE, all versions 2.x and 3.x, are NOT IMPACTED by this vulnerability. The vulnerability was introduced in the Log4j 2.x, which our IDE in question does not use. We may take further steps should new development concerning this vulnerability happen. As a general precaution, we strongly encourage users to use the latest updated IDE (download links below) and not install/use any 3rd party plugins/extensions.

STMicroelectronics announces ARM Cortex-R52 Stellar series with HighTec support

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.
