A Tool Architecture for Application of Portable Code to Future Avionic Systems
A. Grigg, N. C. Audsley, I. J. Bate, M. A. Fletcher and A. S. Wake
The application of portable code technologies is being considered as a means of reducing the impact of hardware obsolescence in future avionic systems. This paper describes a portable code development toolset architecture that has been defined (and demonstrated in concept) to meet the high dependability needs of avionics applications with real-time and safety-critical components. The tool architecture specifies a number of static analysis tools (for timing and other analyses) as well as portable code development and translation tools. The paper also describes a set of guidelines on tool procurement that have been produced based on a consideration of COTS and bespoke development options and experiences gained from practical demonstration of our portable code for avionic systems concept.
