Avionics
Human lives are at stake when it comes to aerospace and defense applications. There is no room for error; safety and security are paramount; yet time-to-market and increased capability must be achieved.
What's Our Solution?
Wind River delivers complete, integrated solutions based on avionics standards, including ARINC 653; RTCA DO-178B, DO-278, and DO-297; and EUROCAE ED-12B, ED-80B, and ED-124. Our industry-leading products tame the complexities of developing next-generation avionics and control costs by bringing it all together as an integrated commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution.
Complete Avionics Run-Time Platforms
Our standards-based Wind River VxWorks, Wind River VxWorks Cert Platform, Wind River VxWorks 653 Platform, Wind River MILS Platform, Wind River Hypervisor, and Wind River Linux platforms maximize portability and integration of legacy code and are optimized for high performance and scalability for small footprint requirements.
Wind River leads the aerospace industry by supplying the most complete COTS RTCA DO-178B and EUROCAE ED-12B certification evidence for our safety critical platforms. Certification evidence is delivered as a complete package on DVD, in a hyperlinked format for easy navigation and traceability, easing the time and expense required by certification authorities.
Wind River also has common criteria certification for Wind River VxWorks MILS Platform and Wind River Linux Secure.
Customization Services
Wind River has deep expertise and proven best practices for avionics programs. As part of our comprehensive avionics solution, structured engineering services are specifically designed to help avionics customers meet strict program schedules and certification requirements.
Our team of technical experts is qualified to assist with a variety of architecting and engineering activities. Services include safety certification, device design, board support package (BSP) and driver optimization, software system and middleware integration, and legacy application and infrastructure migration.
Comprehensive Simulation, Debug, and Test Tools
Wind River Simics virtual platform allows you to simulate the entire target, even if it contains multiple boards with multiple hardware architectures running multiple real-time operating systems (RTOS). Simics virtual platforms are simulations of the entire target system and not just an individual processor, system-on-chip (SoC), or board. This gives all developers, testers, and integrators access to the entire target system so they can debug/test it as a whole instead of individual pieces of the system.
Wind River offers advanced JTAG tools for rapid hardware and software debugging. Wind River Framework for Automated Software Testing (FAST) automates the labor-intensive process of testing the kernel, BSP, middleware, and application integration. The framework can be tailored to specific performance and reliability requirements, significantly reducing development time. It includes an authoring tool so you can create your own automated tests—or we can build tests for you.
Our JTAG tools offer complete support for partitioned environments that enable non-intrusive debug, monitoring, and test for safety and security systems.
Wind River Test Management is a test execution optimization system for embedded devices. It enables unprecedented run-time visibility into devices while under test. The system provides the operational feedback that test teams and their management need to achieve the highest possible quality in the least amount of time.
Global Support
Wind River global support delivers products and services that can help overcome technical obstacles and accelerate the deployment of your next-generation avionics system.
Wind River Online Support provides easy 24/7 access to product manuals, downloadable software, and other resources.
Wind River support has achieved Service Capability and Performance (SCP) certification, recognized as the gold standard for delivering world-class customer support.
Superior Partner Ecosystem
Wind River has joined forces with leading avionics hardware and software providers for complementary technologies such as COTS processor and I/O boards, graphics subsystems, Ada support, Java virtual machines, communications protocols, system modeling tools, control design tools, test tools, certification services, and platform simulation applications.
In conjunction with Wind River's offerings, our tool partners enable the entire avionics design flow to be easily integrated into the Wind River Workbench development environment, based on the open architecture Eclipse foundation.
We have also invested in pre-integration or validation with commercial software components to reduce the upfront development time and risk and can optimize the software stacks with partner products for your specific target hardware platforms.
