This paper deals with a method able to provide a mi-coprocessor-based system with safety capabilities by modifying the source code of the executed application, only. The method exploits a set of transformations, which can automatically be applied, thus greatly reducing the cost of designing a safe system, and increasing the confidence in its correctness. Fault Injection experiments have been performed on a sample application using two different systems based on CISC and RISC processors. Results demonstrate that the method effectiveness is rather independent on the adopted platform.
