TASKING Accelerates the Development and Verification of Safety- and Security-Critical AUTOSAR Compliant SystemsTASKING, a global leader in high-performance embedded software development tools, today announced expansion of the integrated TASKING toolchain to optimize AUTOSAR workflows for multicore automotive systems that must adhere to functional safety and security mandates. Example customer applications include software-defined vehicles, ADAS/ADS (automated braking, automated steering, infotainment, telematics, adaptive cruise control), zone controllers, central control units, battery management, chassis, and powertrain systems. Enhancements to the toolchain include more efficient compilation, certified libraries, extensive debugging and profiling capabilities, and accurate, in-depth system analysis and verification. Together, these improvements create a best-in-class solution to build, optimize, verify, and deploy complex automotive applications faster, with less risk, and at a lower development cost. The TASKING toolchain seamlessly integrates complete end-to-end compile, debug, and test capabilities to accelerate the full development lifecycle from requirements through verification, certification, and deployment of functionally safe and secure embedded real-time systems. Tools designed to work together enable unique capabilities difficult or impossible to achieve using individual tools, including assessing, optimizing, and mitigating hidden multicore timing interference issues. In addition, AI-assisted automation takes over many tedious and time-consuming manual tasks, freeing developers to focus on value-added design. "TASKING is already a trusted partner in the AUTOSAR ecosystem as a certified tool supplier," said Christoph Herzog, Co-CEO of TASKING. "With this release, we now offer a highly optimized toolchain that specifically addresses the challenges of designing and certifying AUTOSAR-based multicore systems where performance, functional safety, and security are essential. We achieved this by combining our high-performance compilation and debugging technology with the industry's most advanced software quality analysis, verification, and compliance management tools." Optimized for AUTOSAR-based Applications The AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) is a standardized software architecture framework used by the automotive industry to define a common platform for developing modular, reusable, and interoperable software for Electronic Control Units (ECUs). AUTOSAR-based systems today use advanced multicore processors and enable the use of exeptionally powerful and complex software. To address these challenges, the TASKING toolchain includes:
The TASKING toolchain also enables continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous verification (CI/CD/CV). It is qualified for functional safety and security, and leverages target hardware virtualization to enable pre-silicon development and testing. The toolchain also enables global team collaboration and project management, as well as simplifies fleet license management. TASKING has optimized its toolchain for use with many multicore processors intended for automotive systems, including the Infineon AURIX (Tricore), NXP S32K, and Renesas RH850 families. For example, TASKING tools are part of the Infineon DRIVECORE software bundles that streamline application development on Infineon microcontrollers. "TASKING works directly with industry leaders in AUTOSAR-based technology," Herzog said. "Early partner access to technology enables us to develop tools optimized for AUTOSAR-based architectures, which in turn gives our customers a competitive edge. We are committed to continuing to deliver the advanced tools OEMs need to deliver functionally safe and secure automotive applications." LDRA, which TASKING acquired in 2025, is a member of both the Renesas R-Car Consortium and Renesas Ready Partner Network. Both TASKING and LDRA are official NXP partners and part of the NXP S32K Partner Ecosystem. In addition, TASKING is a preferred partner of Infineon Technologies. Learn how the TASKING toolchain is changing the way the world develops embedded software. The overall compile - debug - test portfolio, including AI capabilities, will be showcased by TASKING at Embedded World 2026, in Hall 4, Booth 4-150.
