S32K3 support for IEC 60730 Software Class B

[JasonG]

Hi there, 

We'd love to make use of the S32K3 in our next generation of products. Some of our existing customers require the products to be IEC 60730 Software Class B compliant. 

Is it possible to implement the IEC 60730 Software Class B on the S32K3? And is there any existing libraries/modules/support for the IEC 60730B tests on the S32K3. 

If not, any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Kind regards, 
Jason

Hello,

S32K3 is automotive device, therefore it is compliant with automotive standards.

The S32K3 MCUs of 32/bit AEC-Q100 qualified MCUs combine a scalable family of Arm^® Cortex^®-M7-based microcontrollers in single, dual, and lockstep core configurations, supporting up to ASIL D functional safety automotive and industrial applications.

Is it possible to implement the IEC 60730 Software Class B on the S32K3?

I expect that this micro will easily fit any industrial standard as its target is ASIL-D which is most strict automotive one.

And is there any existing libraries/modules/support for the IEC 60730B tests on the S32K3.

No direct support for IEC 60730B is available.

There is SAF (safety application framework) to help customers achive ASIL-D. The micro also has many HW self-test mechanisms in order to achieve safe operation in automotive.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your response. That is great to hear that there is at least some pathway to support the standard.

Kind regards,
