Green Hills Software Enables Safe, Secure CarPlay and

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - January 05, 2016) - Consumer Electronics Show 2016 -- Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in high assurance operating systems, today announced the integration of AllGo Systems RACE Smartphone Connectivity technology with the INTEGRITY® Multivisor™ virtualization platform for managed access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto services. Based on the trusted INTEGRITY real-time operating system, INTEGRITY Multivisor provides a flexible software architecture to consolidate safety- and security-critical automotive functions with consumer operating systems like Linux, QNX, Android or Windows. As a result, carmakers can seamlessly consolidate CarPlay and Android Audio services into the connected car while meeting demanding market-specific requirements for security, safety and real-time performance.

iPhone and Android phone connectivity in the car are becoming fundamental to the connected car infotainment experience, bringing tremendous user convenience to the vehicle cabin. However, consolidation of these functions without proper safety and security considerations create new security vulnerabilities in addition to increased safety risks.

To facilitate a safe, secure integration of CarPlay and Android Auto into the vehicle, Green Hills supports the execution and separation of AllGo's RACE Smartphone Connectivity services running in a Linux GuestOS on its safe, secure INTEGRITY Multivisor. While additional INTERGITY Multivisor partitions simultaneously protect coexistent critical functions such as instrument cluster, vehicle diagnostics or ADAS, running as native INTEGRITY tasks.

INTEGRITY Multivisor is the only hypervisor based on software technology independently certified to the highest levels of both safety and security. Its embedded virtualization architecture has been successfully deployed for over a decade in automobiles, aircraft avionics, enterprise workstations and weapon systems. It combines the trusted INTEGRITY microkernel with multicore system virtualization for configurable software partitions, hard real-time and safety-critical processing and hosting of one or more guest operating systems.

"Automotive head unit connectivity technologies such as CarPlay and Android Auto are becoming main stream in head units," said K. Srinivasan, Director & CEO, AllGo Systems.

"AllGo's RACE Smartphone Connectivity enables smartphones to present applications to the head unit HMI and expands the infotainment offering from carmakers. Having the option to add safety-critical functions to the same processor by means of INTEGRITY Multivisor is a big plus."

"Carmakers are increasingly adding mobile device connectivity to their infotainment designs powered by our i.MX 6 series processors," said Dan Loop, global product marketing manager for automotive applications processors at NXP™ Semiconductors. "AllGo's smartphone connectivity running in the INTEGRITY Multivisor trusted execution environment brings users new levels of convenience and entertainment while securely separating these functions from safety-critical tasks."

INTEGRITY Multivisor's comprehensive support for 32- and 64-bit processors includes:

• AllGo RACE Smartphone Connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto running in a protected Linux GuestOS
• Secure multicore system virtualization of one or more guest operating systems utilizing configurable software partitions running safely alongside real-time safety- and security-critical tasks
• Maximum virtualization performance through hardware acceleration from ARM Architecture virtualization extension (VE) and Intel® Virtualization Technologies (Intel VT-x and VT-d), for both 32- and 64-bit processors
• Safely shared peripherals between critical tasks and guest operating systems
• Green Hills Software's MULTI® integrated software development environment featuring multicore debugger, TimeMachine™ suite and 32- and 64-bit optimized C/C++ compilers, MISRA C support, profiler and many other integrated time-saving tools
• Green Hills family of hardware probes for hardware bring-up, low-level debugging and trace-powered visibility
• Green Hills Software's embedded software experts collaborate with system and security architects to tackle the difficult challenges of porting legacy code, device driver optimization, system safety and security and consulting services for performance optimization and developer productivity
