The ASIL B, C, or D Ready DesignWare EV7xFS Embedded Vision Processors enable automotive system-on-chip (SoC) designers to accelerate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle application development and ISO 26262 certification for systems using vision processing, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning.

The EV7xFS processors include state-of-the-art hardware safety features including diagnostic error injection, windowed watchdog timers, error classification, and software diagnostic tests as well as safety monitors and lockstep capabilities for safety-critical modules.
Comprehensive safety documentation, including safety manuals, FMEDA and DFMEA reports accelerate SoC-level functional safety assessments. These features enable designers to achieve high levels of fault coverage as required for ASIL certifications without a significant effect on performance, power or area compared to the non-ASIL Ready EV7x processor.
The DesignWare EV7xFS Embedded Vision Processors are fully programmable and combine the flexibility of software solutions with the high performance and low power consumption of dedicated hardware. The EV7xFS family integrates up to four high-performance 32-bit scalar cores and 512-bit vector DSPs, and an optimized deep neural network (DNN) acceleration engine for fast and accurate object detection, classification and scene segmentation.
The EV7xFS processors are supported by the ASIL D Ready ARC MetaWare EV Development Toolkit for Safety to help simplify the development of ISO 26262-compliant software.
