The CRA turns cybersecurity from a one time release activity into a lifecycle obligation. In embedded projects, that usually means less talk about regulations and more work on repeatable deliverables: a clear vulnerability handling process, updateable component releases, usable documentation, and SBOM inputs that fit into a customer’s product evidence. This article explains what changes in day to day engineering work, where teams typically stumble, and how we support CRA related work with our Flexible Safety RTOS, Safety Addons, and integration services.

CRC32 is a practical way to detect accidental data corruption in embedded systems, especially in firmware images and safety relevant communication paths. This article explains what CRC32 can and cannot guarantee, and why the exact CRC variant and covered byte stream must be specified. You will also find minimal patterns for firmware integrity checks and protocol agnostic end to end protection that avoid common integration bugs.

Discover why RAM tests are a crucial safety measure for embedded systems! In our latest article, we delve into the significance of RAM testing in ensuring system reliability and integrity. From understanding RAM faults to exploring various testing techniques like March tests and ECC checks, learn how these measures enhance safety and compliance.

Discover the crucial role of stack monitoring in ensuring embedded systems safety. Learn why real-time monitoring of stack usage is essential to detect overflows, maintain reliability, mitigate security vulnerabilities, and aid in system maintenance.

Discover the power of MPU monitoring in enhancing safety and reliability of embedded systems! Learn how Memory Protection Units (MPUs) enable isolation, prevent stack overflows, guard against unauthorized access, and improve fault detection. Get insights on the importance of MPU monitoring for critical applications.

A single uncertified component can limit your entire system's safety level-regardless of how well the rest is designed. Learn the fundamental rule of component-based safety, why architecture decisions matter from day one, and how to avoid expensive late-stage rework in ISO 26262, IEC 62304, IEC 61508, and EN 50128 projects.

Explore how easy you can setup a STM32 safety platform, which is ready for medium safety integrity levels (SIL2). With some further work the high safety integrity levels (SIL3+) are possible, too. We use the Flexible Safety RTOS, the Safety AddOns and the Self-Test Library (STL) from STMicroelectronics to build a solid platform.

This article on security in embedded systems provides an overview and insights into the challenges of software development. This knowledge will help you to ensure the security and integrity of your products in a rapidly evolving threat landscape, right from the planning stage of your products.

This article describes how we ensure compliance with the IEC62443 standard for our Flexible Safety RTOS. For the cyber security requirements resulting from the European Cyber Resilience Act, we chose the industrial security standard IEC62443. All suppliers of software components and electronic equipment must verify their products according to the European Cyber Resilience Act and adapt the documentation to succeed in future approvals.

This article provide a small exemplary list of threats to help your discussions of why security is significant for upcoming developments in Embedded Systems.

The IEC61508 states, that static memory management is highly recommended. We all are following this recommendation - unless there is a very good reason to be more dynamic, right?
