STMicroelectronics and HighTec EDV-Systeme have combined HighTec’s Rust compiler with ST’s Stellar 28nm MCUs to provide safety-critical systems in software-defined vehicles. Rust ensures the resilience of critical automotive systems with its memory safety, thread safety, and data type safety provisions, while maintaining runtime efficiency comparable to C/C++. HighTec’s compiler suite allows for the integration of Rust’s safety features with legacy C/C++ code for automotive applications. The Stellar MCUs are built on Arm Cortex R52+ cores and comply with ISO 21434 cybersecurity standards and UN155 requirements.
