IAR Embedded Workbench for STM8 功能安全版

The functional safety edition of IAR Embedded Workbench for STM8 is a special product and services package containing a toolchain certified by TÜV SÜD for software development according to high integrity standards IEC 61508, ISO 26262, EN 50128, EN 50657 and IEC 62304. A special support and update agreement gives you support and updates for the frozen version you are using for the longevity of the agreement. The certification is done for a specific version of the tool chain. Not every feature release will be certified.

High-integrity standards today frequently require you to provide extensive justification for selecting a particular development tool, unless the tool is already certified.

It means that the functional safety edition is certified as a qualified tool for development of safety-related applications according to the mentioned standards. By selecting IAR Embedded Workbench Functional safety edition as a development tool, you do not have to evaluate the tool development process yourself and also not demonstrate language standards compliance by your own testing. This has already been taken care of by TÜV SÜD.

The certification was proceeded by a thorough assessment of how IAR Systems develop, test and support its software.

The technical certification report from TÜV says:

"The build tool chain of EWNNFS is suitable to be used in safety-related development projects according to ISO 26262:2018 for any ASIL level. The requirements of the "Validation of the software tool in accordance with [ISO26262-8, Chapter] 11.4.9" and "Evaluation of the tool development process in accordance with [ISO26262-8, Chapter] 11.4.8" are fulfilled."

Further it says:

“The build tool chain of EWARMFS classified as T3 off-line tool according to IEC 61508-4:2010, is suitable to be used in safety-related development projects according to IEC 61508:2010 for any SIL level.”

There are no explicit references to any specific (A)SIL levels and this is intentional as tool users should draw their own conclusions for their specific safety functions.

Yes, many sector specific standards are derived from IEC61508 and thus tools qualification requirements are similar. For some standards additional information might be needed and we are in those cases happy to provide such information on a case-by-case basis. Further, the services in the special Support and Update Agreement (See below) are just as valuable for any project where quality and reliability of the end product is at the forefront.

The functional safety editions are resting on three pillars:

• A specific certified version of IAR Embedded Workbench where no new features will be added. Updates will only consist of corrections of erratical behavior and notifications of issues to be aware of.
• A special Support and Update Agreement; see below for more information.
• Certification documentation, including the certificate and a report to the certificate. The documentation package also includes a Safety Guide detailing the use of the tool chain in a functional safety context.

Yes, the Functional Safety Support and Update Agreement is included for the first year after purchase.

The full build tool chain and all of its features are covered by the certification. This include, but is not limited to, features like optimizations, language extensions, intrinsic functions etc. However, safety-related standards often place constraints or require extra justification to use such features. The restrictions or the amount of justification that might be needed differ between standards and the safety integrity level for the project. The usage of such features are covered in the Safety Guide.
