| ARINC 653 for RTLinuxPro Released FSMLabs has announced ARINC 653 scheduling is now available in RTLinuxPro. Designed for avionics control and advanced hardware-in-loop simulation, ARINC 653 provides a fully protected and partitioned scheduling environment configured using a standard XML format. The ARINC scheduler has been added to FSMLabs' industry leading Process Space Development Domain (PSDD) product which executes real-time threads in the address space of Linux or BSD processes. PSDD is especially well suited to large scale simulation and test applications. FSMLabs ARINC 653 partitions use RTCore's POSIX standard API: threads, semaphores, shared memory and other standard interfaces. Applications may be written in "C, " C++, and FORTRAN. ADA support is planned. A single device can run ARINC partitions alongside standard RTCore threads, Linux and Linux applications. Multi-processor systems can run multiple ARINC "cabinets" and may reserve processors for real-time where ultimate performance is required. Even without reservation, FSMLabs ARINC 653 provides low microsecond hard real-time execution. ARINC 653 support is an optional component for the RTLinuxPro development kit, which provides all of the tools needed to build hard real-time applications out of the box, including all development tools. Other options include an Eclipse based IDE, a complete Carrier Grade Linux distribution, VME direct drive, and real-time networking. Availability: Immediate for x86, PPC, 64/32bit, uniprocessors, SMP & multi-core. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
