Latest Release of Lauterbach’s Tool Qualification Support Kit (TQSK) Approved by TÜV Nord

Lauterbach announces a major update for their Tool Qualification Support Kit (TQSK). In addition to supporting existing standards for the automotive and the aerospace industries, the updated TQSK 3.1S can now be used for tool qualification in accordance with medical and industrial standards.

Functional safety is one of the key issues for embedded systems deployed in vehicles, aircraft, medical devices or factories. The software tools used during the life cycle of such systems have a direct impact on quality, safety and reliability and therefore require qualification according to certain standards. The Tool Qualification Support Kit (TQSK) offers a convenient and comprehensive way to certify the TRACE32 tools according to your required standard.

Updates in Version 3.1S of the TQSK:

• Extended compliance with IEC 61508 for industrial and the IEC 62304 for medical applications
• Qualification evidence for use of the TRACE32 Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) for Infineon TriCore™ as virtual testing platform
• Coverage of common debug and verification tasks

Norbert Weiss, Managing Director of Lauterbach GmbH says, “I see this as an excellent opportunity to provide our customers from a wide range of industry sectors the possibility to perform efficient and effortless tool qualification according to their specific industry standards. Therefore, they can simply continue to use their usual TRACE32 tools and just need to request the update for the Qualification Kit.”
