Related tools from Arm

Arm equips software engineers with professional tools that support safety development process and simplify creation, analysis and verification of complex embedded applications in safety context. 

Arm Keil MDK

FuSa RTS is developed and verified using Arm Keil MDK and natively integrates with it.

MDK-Professional edition contains the µVision IDE and debugger with built-in tools for code coverage tests and execution profiling. It also provides access to the safety Arm C/C++ compiler used for FuSa RTS validation.

Keil MDK enables static code analysis and MISRA compliance checking via integration with third-party verification tools.
