Qualcomm Presents: How to Achieve System on Chip Functional Safety Compliance

Achieving functional safety compliance for a complex system on a chip (SoC) involves critical decisions at various levels. Join this webinar to learn about the Qualcomm experience in achieving safety compliance for software developed as a safety element out of context (SEooC). The software for a complex SEooC involves a gamut of software deliverables including multiple processor cores, operating systems, and software environments.

Every software module and processor presents unique challenges for safety compliance. The presentation will explain how there’s no one-shoe-fits-all solution for complex SoC software.

The safety architecture, tailoring, and processes followed have to be developed to reduce the safety-related risks and meet the schedule goals. The presentation will explain the methods used to improve the efficiency during the software development and testing life cycle.

Key Takeaways
