Simplify & Streamline Development of ISO 26262 Compliant Automotive SoCs

Standards such as ISO 26262 define strict requirements, processes, and methods that all stakeholders – IP vendors, sub-system developers, and semiconductor SoC and system developers – must abide by when designing safety-critical automotive products. One such requirement is the Development Interface Agreement (DIA), which defines the interactions, interfaces, responsibilities, dependencies, and work products exchanged between customers and suppliers for all distributed safety-related activities.

This 60-minute Webinar explains the details of distributed development based on DIA and outlines the different activities for which DIAs must be signed during a distributed development process. In the second part of the presentation, an engineer from Infineon discusses their approach to meeting SoC-level functional safety objectives while closely collaborating with Synopsys.
