TMS570LC4357: Doubt on qualification for TI CGT 18.1.3.LTS

Nilton Barbosa Armstrong Junior

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

Tool/software:

Hi,
We are developing a SIL4 railroad application, using the Hercules TMS570LC4357 along with TI CGT v18.1.3.LTS.
According to EN50128 and EN50657 we have to provide the tool qualification for the compiler. However, I just found the SAFETI_CQKIT for TI CGT from version 20.2.0.LTS to 20.2.7.LTS.

Would it be possible to access the SAFETI_CQKIT for TI CGT v18.1.3.LTS?

Regards,
Nilton Armstrong

Unfortunately, all the relevant members of the team are out this week. I cannot act in their absence. I hope it okay to wait until they come back.

Thanks and regards,

Hi. You can download 18.1.3.LTS here:

https://www.ti.com/tool/download/ARM-CQKIT

The trick is to click "View All Versions" on the product page downloads (https://www.ti.com/tool/SAFETI_CQKIT#downloads).

This is a helpful FAQ on the process. Will not hurt to mention it:

Hi Julian,
I thank you for your answer, but actually the issue was that even using the "View All versions" on product page downloads, only the 20.2.x versions were available.

However now, thanks to the Safety Team, the version 18.1.3.LTS is also available. Thanks @greg (dont know the last name) George Mock for making contact with me, sending the link and also making it available at product page downloads.

Regards
Nilton

The TI Arm compiler safety qualification kit version 18.1.3.LTS was made available late last week. I wasn't aware of that until today. So, Nilton, you did not overlook anything obvious. Julian happened to be among the first to check after this upload occurred.

Thanks and regards,
