“Openness, Modularity and Serviceability
are the key words in avionics industry, because of great
cost reduction during product life cycle,” said Alexander
Kaliadin, business development manager at RTSoft. “Proprietary
solutions are being replaced everywhere by COTS based products.
In our case customer wanted to move away from proprietary
PowerPC based design to open, scaleable platform, based on
standard RTOS and COTS hardware. And we have delivered that
and more.” |

Multifunctional Avionics Display (MAD) combines
in one 3U CPCI rugged chassis:
- Acquisition of numerous plane data via ARINC 429;
- Acquisition of Radar Data via ARINC 708;
- Video camera overlay on the screen;
- Porting VxWorks on selected PowerPC CPU card;
- Porting VAPS™ on VxWorks™ RTOS
- Development of accelerated graphics driver for 3DLabs based
card;
- Binding all components together into compact modular software
solution.

According to Kaliadin, “Modularity of
this design has opened the door for our customer into hassle-free
upgrade and maintenance. In order to support 3D maps capability,
customer would just need to replace current PMC card with
more powerful one and upgrade VxWorks driver to support 3D
acceleration. New interfaces can be easily added into the
system without affecting current design or performance. Top-down
design cycle from VAPS modeling to direct code generation
guaranties minimum time spent on engineering and quicker
time-to-market.” |
