TASKING C compiler supports Renesas automotive MCUs

The TASKING C compiler now supports the RH850 microcontroller from Renesas Electronics for automotive applications.

The TASKING VX-toolset for RH850, from Altium, is its first  compiler to incorporate support for the latest MISRA C:2012 guidelines for C programming, in addition to the MISRA C:1998 and C:2004 guidelines.

The MISRA C support enables developers to select the MISRA rules to enforce and configure the MISRA guidelines in accordance with the company’s prescribed rules in order to increase code safety, reliability and maintainability.

“By providing support for MISRA C:2012, developers now can benefit from the latest guideline improvements that can reduce the cost and complexity of compliance, whilst aiding consistent, safe use of C in critical systems,” said Altium.

TASKING’s Viper compilers are used to generate code for applications such as power train, body control, chassis control and safety critical applications.

A caching function will save the compiler’s intermediate results in order to avoid full compilations, which saves project time.
