Regulatory compliance analysis of embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures

Challenge

From IKERLAN and Xilinx, world leader in microelectronics, we have jointly developed a solution based on reprogrammable chips (with FPGA technology) for high functional safety applications.

In order to ensure that this technology is suitable for systems, whose proper functioning is essential for the integrity of people and high-value infrastructures (such as automatic braking system), it has been necessary to certify that these advanced SoC applications and architectures (SIL-3, ASIL-D) comply with IEC-61508 and ISO26262 standards.

Solution

From IKERLAN, our team of experts in security and architecture have accompanied XILINX in the analysis and security concept, as well as in the HW / SW development.

Customer benefits

Thanks to this collaboration, Xilinx has been able to carry out an efficient analysis and certification process, maintaining a close relationship with the certifying entities and with the eventual differential that this seal offers.

This platform is capable of being used also in different sectors with a high degree of demand, such as the automotive or railway, allowing Xilinx to open new markets in an area of great value such as high security.
