Problem
Developing embedded systems for autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing, and robotics on complex multiprocessor systems on chip (MPSoCs) is challenging due to memory interference, the need for safety and security certifications, and the difficulty of optimizing hardware utilization. Simplistic software platforms can lead to inflexible systems that lack scalability, while unregulated hardware results in underutilization.
Solution
Minerva Systems provides platform software and development tools designed to simplify the development, integration, testing, and certification of embedded systems on complex MPSoCs. Their Architect tool visualizes memory interference, correlates it with executing applications, and enables developers to tune isolation and performance. Minerva Systems' solutions facilitate high performance, determinism, and availability, enabling savings in hardware-software process costs and increased performance without compromising safety or security. The company's services include interference protection, performance optimization, and safety & secure architecture optimization.
Target Audience
The primary customers are chip providers, application producers, integrators, and OEMs in the automotive, industrial, robotics, avionics, and railway sectors who are developing and deploying embedded systems on complex SoCs.
