TASKING, a global leader in high-performance embedded software development tools, today announced that it has joined SDVerse, the automotive industry’s first B2B marketplace for automotive software. Through its participation in SDVerse, TASKING will make its automotive software development capabilities more accessible to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers developing safe, secure and increasingly complex software-defined vehicles.

TASKING joins SDVerse, the automotive industry’s first B2B marketplace for automotive software. Helps OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers developing safe, secure and increasing complex software-defined vehicles to build, test and validate the embedded software.

TASKING brings together an integrated portfolio for compiling, debugging, tracing and testing safety- and security-critical embedded software based on 50+ years of experience serving the global automotive industry. From electronic control units and central and zonal controllers to today’s advanced driver-assistance systems and increasingly complex vehicle architectures, TASKING’s tools have evolved alongside the industry’s engineering demands. With its solutions trusted by automotive engineering teams worldwide, TASKING now brings this decades of expertise to SDVerse.

“As vehicles evolve into AI-defined platforms, the ability to build, test and validate embedded software with confidence becomes a strategic capability,” said Prashant Gulati, CEO of SDVerse. “TASKING brings deep, trusted expertise across the software development lifecycle, strengthening SDVerse with the AI-assisted tools automotive engineering teams need to manage growing software complexity, meet critical safety and security requirements, and bring next-generation vehicle programs to market faster.”

Software-defined vehicles raise the bar for embedded software

As vehicle architectures become more centralized, connected and software-driven, automakers and suppliers must manage growing software complexity while meeting demanding requirements for performance, functional safety, cybersecurity and lifecycle support. TASKING’s toolchain supports automotive development across processor architectures and microcontroller families including Infineon AURIX/TriCore, Arm, RISC-V and Renesas RH850. TASKING also offers tools supporting ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 development requirements, with selected solutions supporting applications through ASIL D.

Through SDVerse, automotive engineering and procurement teams will be able to access structured information about TASKING’s relevant capabilities and engage directly with the company. This can help buyers identify development tools suited to their architectures, technical requirements and safety objectives while improving alignment between engineering needs and sourcing decisions. The initial TASKING portfolio presented through SDVerse includes:

• Compiler toolsets for major automotive architectures such as Arm, Infineon TriCore, Renesas RH850 and RISC-V;
• Advanced debugging solutions with winIDEA and iC7 BlueBox debuggers;
• Test & verification tools, including the LDRA tool suite and Productivity Package for Automotive.
  
  

“The transition to software-defined vehicles and the availability of powerful AI are fundamentally changing how automotive software is developed,” said Gerard Vink, Industry Specialist at TASKING. “As software becomes more complex and development increasingly AI-assisted, engineering teams need integrated tools that help them manage performance, functional safety and cybersecurity across the entire development lifecycle. By joining SDVerse, we can make TASKING’s AI-assisted compile, debug and test toolchain more accessible to automotive development teams and engage with customers earlier as they define their next-generation vehicle architectures.”
