en.Wedoany.com Reported - Green Hills Software, based in Santa Barbara, California, officially announced a collaboration with AMD to launch a comprehensive safety-certified hardware and software integrated solution for the AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 adaptive SoC platform. The solution covers a safety-certified operating system, hypervisor, compiler, and advanced debugging tools, targeting the highest functional safety levels of ASIL D/SIL 3.
The core differentiation of this integrated solution lies in its single-chip full-flow architecture. The Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 devices, built on an enhanced hardware security foundation, complete the three critical processing stages—pre-processing, AI inference, and post-processing—on a single chip. The post-processing stage is driven by Arm CPUs, leveraging Green Hills' software solution to achieve complex decision-making and control functions for safety-critical applications.
The software foundation provided by Green Hills this time covers the two major computing core clusters of the Versal AI Edge Gen 2—the Arm Cortex-A78AE and Cortex-R52. For the Cortex-A78AE, the solution provides the INTEGRITY RTOS, which can enforce secure separation for mixed-criticality concurrent workloads on the same SoC, while securely hosting Linux or Android environments through the INTEGRITY Multivisor. For the Cortex-R52 real-time cores, μ-visor virtualization allows simultaneous operation of multiple microcontroller operating systems such as AUTOSAR Classic, FreeRTOS, and Zephyr, working in concert with the μ-velOSity RTOS. The entire suite offers a unified development interface through the MULTI debugger and system visualization tools.
Mixed-criticality function consolidation is the direct engineering benefit this integrated solution brings to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. By merging electronic control unit functions of different safety levels into a single-chip domain controller, system complexity is reduced, and both development costs and production cycles are compressed simultaneously. The solution supports developers in handling safety-critical and non-safety-critical tasks on a single platform, eliminating the need to deploy multiple independent hardware and software systems for different functions.
Simon George, Director of Embedded Systems and Physical AI at AMD, stated in an official release: "Customers developing embedded applications need a hardware and software foundation they can trust. The combination of AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 devices with Green Hills' proven RTOS, hypervisor, and toolchain enables developers to more efficiently build and deploy intelligent, safety-critical applications for the automotive, aerospace, medical, and robotics sectors."
Dan Mender, Vice President of Business Development at Green Hills Software, added: "The increasing complexity of safety-critical embedded systems demands a tightly integrated, proven software foundation. Our collaboration with AMD combines industry-leading, production-ready, safety-certified software solutions with advanced adaptive SoC technology, enabling customers to consolidate mixed-criticality workloads, reduce system complexity, and accelerate the deployment of intelligent, safety-critical applications across a broad range of markets."
In terms of application areas, the solution simultaneously covers automotive ADAS and autonomous driving domain controllers, aerospace avionics systems, medical imaging and diagnostic equipment, as well as industrial and service robots, among other scenarios.
Green Hills has begun providing development support based on this platform to its initial customers and will showcase the integrated solution at AMD embedded computing events in San Jose, California, on May 5, 2026, and in Herndon, Virginia, on May 7, 2026.
