HighTec EDV-Systeme Joins SOAFEE to Drive Safe and Secure Software-Defined Vehicles
HighTec EDV-Systeme is proud to announce its membership in the SOAFEE initiative as a voting member, reinforcing their commitment to building the next generation of safe, secure, and efficient software-defined vehicles (SDVs). HighTec provides automotive-grade toolchains built on open-source LLVM technology, ISO 26262 ASIL D and ISO 21434 qualified for Rust and C/C++, with broad multi-architecture support for automotive microcontrollers.
SOAFEE provides the common framework for modern SDVs which require cloud-native flexibility combined with automotive-grade safety. HighTec is uniquely positioned to accelerate the adoption of safe and secure software frameworks for SDVs, bridging the gap between today’s safety-critical automotive requirements and tomorrow’s scalable, cloud-native architectures. With HighTec’s qualified Rust and C/C++ toolchains, and PXROS, their safety-certified multicore RTOS, HighTec ensures safe, secure, and efficient deployment of next-generation automotive platforms.
What HighTec Brings to SOAFEE
Automotive-grade Toolchains: Proven track record in delivering ISO 26262 ASIL D and ISO 21434 qualified compilers for Rust and C/C++, all built on LLVM open-source technology. This common foundation makes HighTec the first to bring both languages into certified automotive environments with consistency and transparency.
Multi-architecture Support: Toolchains optimized for a wide range of automotive microcontrollers, ensuring flexibility and scalability across heterogeneous computing platforms.
Hybrid Rust-C/C++ development: Seamless interoperability between modern, memory-safe Rust components and legacy C/C++ systems, enabling OEMs and Tier-1s to integrate Rust into existing code bases. With both compilers sharing the same LLVM back-end, integration is streamlined and certification processes become more efficient.
Trusted partner in the automotive industry: Decades of experience as the independent provider of automotive-grade compilers and operating systems, working closely with global OEMs, Tier-1s, and leading semiconductor manufacturers.
