Revolution in the auto industry: Rust and Autosar combine forces!
Hightec, electrobit and infineon integrate Rust into Autosar Classic to promote innovations and security in the automotive software.
Revolution in the auto industry: Rust and Autosar combine forces!
On an eventful day for the automotive industry, Hightec, Elektrobit and Infineon have closed an important partnership that promotes the integration of rust applications into the Autosar Classic Basis software. This cooperation aims to advance software innovations in the industry and to improve the safety and reliability of vehicle applications. As embedded software engineering reports, the three industry players combine their specialist knowledge in the areas of Rust and Autosar Classic to offer a comprehensive development package for the Aurix ™ microcontroller.
The new package not only includes the EB Tresos Autocore from Elektrobit, but also a LLVM-based Rust and C/C ++ compiler from Hightec. This enables developers access to the latest software tools that are specially optimized for functional security and the storage security of Rust. The software bundle for the Aurix TC4X family also integrates all the necessary tools to ensure smooth development.
The role of Rust in the automotive software
Why is Rust so important for the future of automotive software? One reason that Rust is regarded as a supplement or even replacement for C/C ++ in software development lies in its ability to avoid frequent programming errors and reduce cyber risks. As Infineon Technologies , the ISO 26262 ASIL D guarantees qualified rust- compilers for the Aurix TC3X TC4X microcontroller the reliability and performance to meet the high requirements of the automotive industry.
In addition, the Rust ecosystem for Aurix includes a variety of useful components, including Infineons Peripheral Access Crates (PAC) and tools from Lauterbach as well as PLS, which all aim to develop secure applications with Rust. This ecosystem is supported by a pre-configured Cargo Build system, which enables seamless integration of rust projects with an existing C/C ++ code to promote the reusability of Legacy code, as CTO Mario Cupelli from Hightec.
advantages of rust and support of electrobit
But what makes Rust so attractive? The answer to this is simple: the programming language offers a strong type system and an ownership model, which leads to increased storage security. In addition, Elektrobit promotes the development of secure and functional software by implementing these technologies in EB Tresos AutoCore. The associated functions ensure that developers can work more efficiently and safely while at the same time fulfilling the highest security standards.
The training and workshop offers from Hightec and Elektrobit to integrate Rust into Autosar Classic projects should also be emphasized. This gives software developers not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical support in order to be able to fully exploit the advantages of Rust. In summary, it can be said that the collaboration of Hightec, Elektrobit and Infineon paves the way for innovative solutions in the automotive software. This partnership could prove to be a real game change, especially against the background of the growing demands on cybersecurity and functional security in the automotive industry, which are driven by regulations such as UN R155 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
