MISRA C

To help assess the quality of software code used in electronic control units, the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) introduced guidelines for using C code in software running in automobiles and aircraft.

MathWorks products, including Simulink, Stateflow, and Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder, are widely used to generate embedded software for MISRA C.

To assist users in their efforts to achieve MISRA C compliance, The MathWorks maintains a feasibility analysis package and recommendations for generating MISRA C compliant code when using Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder with Simulink and Stateflow models. 

The MISRA C analysis package includes:

• Overview document
• Compliance feasibility matrix
• Simulink and Stateflow model examples
• Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder code examples

Key products for developing MISRA C applications:

• Simulink
• Stateflow
• Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder
• PolySpace code verification products
• Embedded IDE Link TS (for Altium TASKING)
