OVERVIEW

Best-in-Class Safety Ready Solutions to Accelerate Time to Market

Arm solutions are developed with a “safety first” mindset. The Arm Safety Ready Compute Subsystems (CSS) and AE products include best-in-class safety mechanisms embedded in the design, a comprehensive safety package, and a support structure that enables our partners to speed up system development and stay ahead in the automotive market. Because Arm's CSS is validated and already assessed by independent third-party functional safety bodies, automotive teams can reduce integration challenges and focus on product differentiation.

Arm Safety Ready solutions support a wide range of technologies developed by our world-leading partner ecosystem for the automotive industry. Arm Compute Sub Systems (CSS) incorporate safety-certified AE IP and software test libraries, and are supported by software development kits, tools, operating systems, and compilers. This helps with the seamless integration of automotive safety solutions into the customer-specific SoC design targeting ADAS, IVI/digital cockpit, and central compute for next-generation electric and electronic architectures.

Arm’s Unrivalled Commitment to Safety

IoT and automotive markets are becoming more autonomous and require more complex computing workloads due to the rise of software-defined vehicles, industry 4.0, and the next generation of robots. As a result, safety-critical computation is an essential design consideration.

We provide high-performance safety-capable products to the IoT and automotive industries through our leadership in functional safety technologies across real-time systems, lock step, hybrid mode, and software test libraries. This enables our partners to develop systems, products, and features for safe compute solutions.

Designing for Functional Safety with Arm

To help our partners enable functional safety, Arm offers integrated solutions, broad range of AI IP, tools, and support.

Information for Compliance

Includes evidence of external certification, allowing more time to focus on integrating Arm functional safety IP at a system level. 
Robust Functional Safety Process

Systematic approach to product safety design and verification activities based on ISO26262 and V model-based approach.
Supporting Functional Safety Documentation

Includes comprehensive details on specific product safety features, verification, Failure Mode Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA), safety manual, and more.
Shortened Time to Market

Ongoing development of CSSs and IP, tools, and test libraries that help reduce time to market for SoCs and meets industry assessment standards.
