Arm’s Unrivalled Commitment to Safety

IoT and automotive markets are becoming more autonomous and require more complex computing workloads due to the rise of software-defined vehicles, industry 4.0, and the next generation of robots. As a result, safety-critical computation is an essential design consideration.

We provide high-performance safety-capable products to the IoT and automotive industries through our leadership in functional safety technologies across real-time systems, lock step, hybrid mode, and software test libraries. This enables our partners to develop systems, products, and features for safe compute solutions.

Designing for Functional Safety with Arm

To help our partners enable functional safety, Arm offers a wide range of IP, tools, and support.

Information for Compliance

Includes evidence of external certification, allowing more time to focus on integrating Arm functional safety IP at a system level. 

Robust Functional Safety Process

Systematic approach to product safety design and verification activities based on ISO26262 and V model-based approach.

Supporting Functional Safety Documentation

Includes comprehensive details on specific product safety features, verification, Failure Mode Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA), safety manual, and more.

Shortened Time to Market

Ongoing development of IP, tools, and test libraries that help reduce time to market and meet industry assessment standards.
