Applying modern UI technology to safety-critical systems
The User Interface (UI) can make all the difference between a product that works and a product that doesn't, and the results of not working can be disastrous. More robust, better tested, and more uniform interfaces are needed. One way to help achieve UI reliability is to eliminate the error-prone process of translating UIs designed with high-level tools into conventional graphics technology. Rather than use two or more technologies to design, ...

White Paper: Computer Architectures for Embedded Safety-Critical Applications
Failures of safety-critical electronic systems can result in loss of life, substantial financial damage or severely harm the environment. Such systems are used for example in medical equipment, in airplanes, in trains, in weapons and in nuclear power stations. The terms “safety” and “security” are often confused. The technical term ''security'' means that something not only is secure but that it has been secured. A safe s...

White Paper: DO-254 Compliance: Reducing Project Cost by Avoiding Common Pitfalls
DO-254 is a new hardware design standard for airborne electronics. While this standard can increase costs due to the added design assurance it requires, this cost can be minimized by understanding DO-254, gaining experience using it, and working with experts who are knowledgeable and who care about the needs of this market. This paper provided an overview of the standard, talked about some of the common challenges and pitfalls, and provided ad...

DO-178B and DO-254: A unified aerospace-field theory?
Though some progress has been made toward a unified field theory, relating the physics of heavenly bodies to subatomic particles, another type of unification is having more measurable success: the unification of military and commercial avionics through increasing utilization of the DO-178B and DO-254 safety standards.

DO-254: The other safety-critical specification
Did you know there’s a companion to DO-178B? Here are some Hot Tips to make hardware certification easier. By now you’re probably aware that the FAA’s RTCA/DO-178B “Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification” governs software certified for airborne systems ranked from levels E through A (the highest). DO-178B’s rigorous test methodology makes darn certain that the software controlling the flight surfaces in an...

FPGA synthesis tools meet the DO-254 challenge
DO-254 compliance, as it spreads from aviation to military and beyond, is becoming a significant concern for more and more FPGA design companies. Synthesis is a key part of these flows, and, thankfully, tool vendors are beginning to address the key concerns of optimization vs. design assurance, SEU protection, redundancy control, and late design change capabilities required in FPGA synthesis tools for DO-254 compliance.
