Green Hills Software and Paragon Software in Partnership

To deliver safe and secure in-vehicle infotainment systems

Green Hills Software, Inc., in embedded safety and security, and Paragon Technologie GmbH, a provider of storage software solutions, have announced the integration of Paragon File System Link with the Green Hills INTEGRITY real-time OS (RTOS).

The INTEGRITY architecture supports multiple protected
virtual address spaces,
each of which can contain multiple application tasks.

Paragon’s drivers enable car owners to connect USB devices, SD cards, or other storage media directly to in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems and enjoy audio and video recordings, regardless of the file system used.

File System Link integrates with the RTOS platform by adding NTFS, HFS+ and exFAT support to other natively supported file systems. It provides multi-process, read-and-write access to NTFS, HFS+ and exFAT file system, achieving performing results on mount and initial indexing time, and CPU utilization.

Konstantin Komarov, CEO, Paragon, commented: “Our collaboration with Green Hills Software addresses the automotive infotainment and telematics demands for the performance-optimized kernel-level drivers. The optimization of Paragon File System Link for the INTEGRITY Virtual File System framework enables various applications to serve multiple clients simultaneously, with multiple fail-safety layers included. In addition, Paragon File System Link guarantees data integrity in case of improper mounting, power loss, and other failures.

Paragon’s Standby Mode functionality ensures file system consistency and reduces the need for file system checks and repairs. The Fast Mount feature allows instant access to content, shifting system response time and readiness into high gear. Featuring optimized source code, File System Link ensures low-system requirements without system resource overloads. It is a flexible kernel module that integrates into complex workflows guaranteeing ast time-to-market.

INTEGRITY RTOS is used by automotive tier-1s and OEMs. Its partitioning architecture, secure virtualization and processor resource management provide automotive applications the necessary security, certified safety and determinism. INTEGRITY technology is certified to high level of automotive safety (ISO 26262 ASIL D) and a high security level achieved for software product – Common Criteria EAL 6+, High Robustness.

Chris Tubbs, business development director, EMEA, Green Hills, said: “Automotive applications increasingly require the ability to allow drivers and passengers to interact as seamlessly with their entertainment systems in the car as they do in other environments. To deliver this, manufacturers need a safe and secure software environment that also enables the easy integration of external storage media. The integration of the Green Hills INTEGRITY RTOS and Paragon File System Link provides exactly this combination.
