Enforcing Code Quality in the Open-Source RISC-V Ecosystem

In this webinar, you will learn the importance of code quality and how to enforce the best practices and standards to the Open Source RISC-V Ecosystem. Reusing code is smart but you should always trust and verify the code quality of the source code that you are using in your application. Now available on demand below. 

Speed Your Path to Certification of a RISC-V-based product

With the rapid growth of RISC-V, functional safety is a growing requirements for companies choosing RISC-V in their next design. High-integrity standards require you to provide extensive justification for selecting a particular development tool, unless the tool is already certified. The proof of compliance for the tools increases cost and time of development. To address this problem, we provide a certified edition of IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V.

In this webinar, we explore IAR's Functional Safety offering covering standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, IEC 62304, EN 50128/ EN 50657, IEC 60730, ISO 13849, IEC 62061, IEC 61511 and ISO 25119, and learn how to take advantage of the available tools and services. We also review how to ensure the reliability of your code and how to enforce compliance with coding standards such as MISRA C, CWE, and CERT C with the use of static analysis tools.
