DO-254, DO-178 Certifiable Solutions Said To Reduce Burden, Increase Reliability
Technology company Xilinx has announced what it says are comprehensive solutions and support to address complex avionics certification challenges. Xilinx's DO-254, DO-178, and SEU mitigation solutions build upon its history in military avionics and secure solutions to extend support for certification of commercial, military and dual-use avionics systems. These solutions are now enabling the latest advancements in avionics applications with Xilinx's generation-ahead 28nm devices, including 7 series FPGAs and Zynq-7000 All Programmable system-on-a-chip (SoCs).
"We are pleased to be offering unsurpassed support for the commercial avionics market with certifiable solutions that enable use of our latest generation of 28nm FPGAs and All Programmable SoCs for future airborne systems," said Yousef Khalilollahi, senior director, Aerospace and Defense at Xilinx. "These solutions allow our customers to build high performance, all programmable solutions with reduced certification burden and product development cost."
Xilinx has established an industry-leading commercial avionics solutions portfolio over the past several years. Through key partnerships with LogiCircuit, Inc., certification representatives, and other IP vendors, Xilinx is rolling out a certifiable IP ecosystem. DO-254 certifiable versions of configurable IP cores include Xilinx's MicroBlaze soft processor, Great River Technologies' ARINC 818 core, other standard avionics interfaces, and many AXI peripherals. The first end-system to utilize several of these cores is expected to enter certification in late 2013. These DO-254 and DO-178 certifiable data packages meet rigorous commercial avionics certification standards, thereby reducing design and development time, certification burden, and non-recurring engineering costs.
