Looking Ahead to Safe and Secure Software Development

March 22, 2022
Green Hills Software's Robert Redfield presents software trends in automotive, OTA, and RISC-V.

This video is part of the 2022 Electronic Design Forecast issue. You can also check out more TechXchange Talks videos.

Green Hills Software develops real-time operating systems like the Integrity RTOS and software-development tools like its Multi IDE for C and C++ developers. I spoke with Robert Redfield, Direct of Business Development, about a number of topics including: 

  • Consolidating software in automotive applications
  • Over-the-air (OTA) updates
  • RISC-V

Green Hills Software is involved in a range of automotive initiatives, from securing the connected car to the powertrain (Fig. 1)

The Multi IDE supports a range of processors including Arm and RISC-V. Multi also supports Green Hills Software's TimeMachine trace debug tool (Fig. 2). It allows developers to record the execution of an application and then step forward and backward through the recorded execution.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
