RM48 TÜV Rheinland certification Code Composer Studio 5.1.1 compiler

Flavio Caduda
Prodigy 120 points


I am using the RM48 with CCS v.5.1.1 for our safety critical application following SIL3 standards. We need to certify the final product with TÜV Rheinland and they require: 

1) A letter from Texas Instruments informing that CCS 5.1.1 was validated, what procedures were used to validate, following the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standards.

2) A report of the validation with the results.

3) A list containing the known bugs for this release.

Where can I find these documents, so that I can have the product certified?

Regards,

Flavio C.

    Hello Flavio,

    Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the documentation that you have requested. Instead, TI has taken a different approach to compiler certification by offering a Compiler Qualification Kit that allows our customers to run a test suite on their installation and application specific compiler settings. This kit is available here: 

    (corrected link) http://www.ti.com/tool/safeti_cqkit

    Some benefits of this approach is that the qualification is then ran on the specific version of the compiler that you are using and with the specific set of compiler options that you choose for your application. i.e., you are not locked in to a specific compiler version or a specific set of compiler settings as you wold be with other tools that provide a certified compiler.

    The down side of this approach is the investment in resources and time that you must put into it to achieve your qualification. In addition, the tool/package is developed by a third party for TI so it is not a free tool from TI.

    Also note that the compiler is a sub-component of the CCS IDE. i.e., even though you are using CCSv5.1.1, this does not indicate which version of the compiler you are using. To determine the compiler version, you can check under Help-->About Code Composer Studio --> Installation Details then look for Arm Compiler Tools and the version installed. If there is more than on version installed, you can check under your project properties to see which was selected to use for compiling.
