Part Number: F021FLASHAPI
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RM46L852, HALCOGEN

Hi Team,

My Customer is asking about our F021 Flash API Library, he's been using RM46L852 microcontrollers and wanted to know if our F021 Flash API Library is 

DO-178C certified? I tried to look for relevant information about this unfortunately, I couldn't find one.

Looking forward to your support.

 Regards,

-Renan

    Hi Renan,

    The F021 Flash API has not been evaluated for compliance to any functional safety standard. This library was developed prior to establishment of a Function Safety Compliant Process at TI. In order to continue to support our customers and their safety needs, we have retroactively applied both static and dynamic testing together with their associated reports as part of a compliance support package (CSP) in order for this software component to be utilized within safety systems. Currently, the F021 Flash API Library is included in the HALCoGen CSP package offered on TI.com. If your company is not using HALCoGen or does not plan to use the HALCoGen CSP, please let me know so we can discuss treatment of the F021 Library for safety. On a side note, in most cases, we have found that the actual use of the SW was not safety related in that it was only used to program the device as in a boot loader scenario or that the data that it was used to write in the role of EEPROM emulation was not safety critical. In the event that the data is safety critical, we recommend implementation of relevant safe guards of that information such as data redundancy, CRC checks of written data blocks, and read back of written data to insure proper operation.

    Regards,

    Sunil
