This document is part of the QP Certification Pack, which has been specifically designed to aid companies in safety certification of their software based on the QP real-time embedded frameworks.
NOTE: This is just a preview. The complete QP Certification Pack can be requested from Quantum Leaps.
This report describes the compliance of the QP/C Real-Time Embedded Framework as well as the Application code based on this framework with the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) Guidelines for the use of the C Language in Critical Systems [MISRA3], [MISRA3-A1], [MISRA3-A2]. This description is designed to be applicable to safety-related real-time embedded systems.
MISRA C was originally developed to fulfill the need for a “restricted subset of a standardized programming language” identified in the 1994 “Development guidelines for vehicle based software” and against the background of the emerging use of C for developing embedded software in automotive applications.
Once MISRA C was published its relevance to other applications was quickly noted and subsequent revisions of the document have involved a number of experts from different industries and from tool vendors.
Today MISRA C is the de facto standard for developing software in C where safety, security and code quality are important. Future developments of MISRA C will continue to extend support for newer versions of the language, and additional language features.
