+In this section assumptions are described which need to be fulfilled by the architecture level below the SW-platform,
 i.e. by the elements or organizations outside of S-CORE, but used by S-CORE platform components. These include elements like
 the operating system, programming language libraries, hypervisor or processing hardware.
 For "organizations" two roles are used in the AoU text:
 
-- Supplier: is the provider of an element the S-CORE SW platform is using but which is developed and maintained externally.
-- System Integrator: uses the S-CORE SW platform as a part of a system he provides to a customer. The system integrator can be for example a Tier1 providing an electronic control unit to a OEM or an OEM providing a car to his end-customer. S-CORE does not know which.

+   :security: YES
+   :safety: ASIL_B
+   :status: valid
+
+   All applications using the SW-platform shall not handle exceptions.
+
+   Note: Exceptions create additional overhead which may be a safety risk. Therefore all exceptions are expected to lead directly to a terminate of the application.
+   This is supported by a library supplied by S-CORE.

+   :security: YES
+   :safety: ASIL_B
+   :status: valid
+
+   Safety applications using the SW-platform shall read error information from the requested S-CORE functions and perform an appropriate reaction.
+
+   Note: For many errors detected by SW-platform elements there could be mitigation actions to be applied by the user application.
+   So the SW-platform attempts to report the errors and does not stop execution as a standard reaction.

+   :security: YES
+   :safety: ASIL_B
+   :status: valid
+
+   Safety applications using the SW-platform shall use program flow monitoring to detect run time errors or explain in their safety concept why they do not need this.
+
+   Note1: Reasons for not needing program flow monitoring could be an OS scheduler with timing and execution guarantees.
+   Or that the non/late execution of the application keeps the system in a safe state.
+
+   Note2: The SW-Platform supports this - see :need:`stkh_req__dependability__safety_features` "live, deadline, logical supervision"

+Assumptions on Safety System
+----------------------------
+
+In this section assumptions are described which need to be fulfilled by the system or system integrator.
+
+.. aou_req:: Safe HW platform
+   :id: aou_req__platform__hardware_safety
+   :reqtype: Functional
+   :security: YES
+   :safety: ASIL_B
+   :status: valid
+

+
+   Note1: A selection of hardware safety mechanisms is collected in :need:`stkh_req__dependability__safety_features`
+
+   Note2: These safety mechanisms are mostly OS/Hypervisor/HW specific, so the system integrator can only expect S-CORE support for the reference OS/Hypervisor/HW combination.
+
+.. aou_req:: External Health Management
+   :id: aou_req__platform__external_health_management
+   :reqtype: Functional
+   :security: YES
+   :safety: ASIL_B
+   :status: valid
+
+   If the system using the SW-platform has safety goals, the system shall provide an external health management element which is able to initiate a safe system state.
+
+   Note: This can be an "External Hardware Watchdog"
+
+.. aou_req:: Process Isolation
+   :id: aou_req__platform__process_isolation
+   :reqtype: Functional
+   :security: YES
+   :safety: ASIL_B
+   :status: valid

+   If the system using the SW-platform has safety goals, the used operating system shall offer POSIX processes isolation.
+   This shall cover memory isolation. Timing isolation may be covered.

+   :rationale: A safe state definition is expected by every safety standard.
+   :status: valid
+   :tags: safety_mechanism
+
+   The SW-platform shall react in the following way on errors:
+
+   - in case of an unrecoverable error (e.g. access violations), not reporting healty status to the external health monitor
+   - in all other cases, report the error (incl. details if available) to the calling user function
+
+   Note1: So the "safe state" of the SW-platform can be described as "error reported".

+
+   The SW-platform shall react on errors (as described in :need:`stkh_req__dependability__safe_state`) within 1 millisecond. If this is not feasible a special component AoU needs to be defined.

+   Note1: The time span mentioned is the SW reaction time and not the time between the error happening and the reporting.
