Munich, Germany, 21 January 2025 – TASKING is introducing the winIDEA Tool Qualification Support Package (TQSP). The ISO-compliant debugging solution allows TASKING to be the only embedded software tool supplier to offer a complete development workflow of certified tools for all areas of the development of safety-critical embedded software.

In modern vehicles, the number of ADAS features continues to increase, while the ASIL requirements of the associated ECUs and driver assistance safety functions also continue to rise. To overcome these challenges while staying on time and on budget, system developers and integrators need qualified tools that are certified for use in safety-critical applications.

As a long-time leader in safety and security compliant embedded software development tools, TASKING has provided ASPICE CL2 compliant, ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 certified toolsets including compiler, assembler, linker and locator for more than 20 years.

Thanks to the TQSP, winIDEA and the renowned BlueBox debuggers can now also be used without hesitation in the development of security-relevant applications. TASKING can thus offer a system-level solution for software developers and integrators, and thereby provide a complete ISO-compliant development workflow including both compiler and debugger toolsets.

The TQSP is designed to qualify specific winIDEA functionalities accessed through the winIDEA SDK in the user's environment for their specific use cases. The package was certified by TÜV-Nord for ISO 26262 (functional safety for road vehicles) and IEC 61508 (functional safety of electronic systems), ensuring compliance with these functional safety standards. This reduces the complexity and workload associated with tool qualification. When the TASKING provided Safety Manual is used with the TQSP, the end-user achieves a more efficient and focused qualification process allowing them to save time and effort.
