The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is increasingly the place where the future of automotive software is revealed, and this year, at CES 2026 WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems (WHIS) showcased it’s flagship product, SAFERTOS® across multiple partner demonstrations...
When teams start developing products that rely on a Real Time Operating System (RTOS), the initial choice between open-source and commercial solutions often feels straightforward: open source is free, accessible, and gets projects moving quickly. But as products evolve, from prototypes to production, priorities change and so does the criticality of the underlying RTOS...
It started with an email that shaped the year: we’ve won a King’s Award for Enterprise. We’re sure this isn’t news by now (we’ve been talking about it all year) but this year was about so much more. We also achieved a Great Place to Work certification, welcomed new partnerships, had a global presence at major events, planned an office move and worked on solutions designed to make life easier for engineers...
A modern car travelling down the motorway at 70 mph is no longer just a mechanical system, it’s a networked computing platform on wheels. According to Runsafe Security, fewer than one in five trust their car’s cybersecurity and 76% worry that remote hacking could endanger lives...
We had the honour of welcoming the Lord-Lieutenant of Somerset, Mr Mohammed Saddiq, along with Deputy Lieutenants Brigadier Nigel Beacom and Mr Denis Burn, to our Long Ashton office. Their visit marked the final and most symbolic chapter in our journey after winning the King’s Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category back in May...
Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are the backbone of many safety-critical applications, especially in the automotive and medical sectors. Their deterministic behaviour, reliability, and scalability make them ideal for embedded systems where timing and precision are non-negotiable...
In safety-critical software development, every line of code matters, from the thorough testing of all code paths to uncovering untested or dead code. That’s why structural coverage, also known as code coverage, is not just good practice but a core requirement in achieving certification for standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262 and DO-178C...
Securing embedded devices requires a multi-layered approach, with each security measure building upon the last. The strength of an embedded system’s security is determined by its weakest link. The integrity of an embedded system’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, meaning that every component, hardware and software alike, must be meticulously protected...
WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems (WHIS), global expert on safety-critical Real Time Operating System (RTOS) technology, is proud to announce its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. This collaboration brings the WHIS SAFERTOS® to the R52 cores of Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ safety island, delivering a high-performance, safety-critical solution for the next generation of automotive applications...
Cybersecurity is becoming a critical focus in embedded systems, particularly within the automotive industry, as vehicles become increasingly interconnected. This blog explores how the ISO 21434 standard is applied to enhance cybersecurity in automotive systems, focusing on the integration of security practices throughout the product lifecycle...
