Suite provides C code for safety-critical avionics
Intertechnique has chosen Esterel Technologies' Scade Suite and KCG for its airborne software development projects that need to comply with DO-178B civilian avionics international regulations.
Toolchain targets safety-critical embedded systems
TTP-Scadelink is a novel system that integrates Esterel Technologies' Scade Suite with TTTech's TTP-Tools, offering a comprehensive toolchain for distributed safety-critical embedded systems.
This combination will enable code generated directly from Scade's KCG Qualified Code Generator to be integrated immediately with Wind River's VxWorks 653 RTOS, reducing time to market and minimising certification and deployment risk.
This solution combines the Scade KCG Qualification Kit, Wind River's Certification Artefacts DVD, and Wind River's DO-178B qualified ARINC 653 XML configuration tool to accelerate safety certifications.
This joint solution also enables platform providers, systems integrators and application developers a cost effective route from application design and development, to systems integration and RTCA DO-178B/DO-254 and EuroCAE ED-12B and/ED-80 certification that is also compliant with DO-297, and standard controlling the integration of integrated modular avionics (IMA) systems.
"Our customers need proven, integrated technologies that accelerate building complex safety-critical applications that are MMU-partitioned for additional reliability and re-use", states Rob Hoffman, VP and General Manager of Wind River's Aerospace and Defence business.
"This integration of Wind River's VxWorks 653 and Esterel's Scade Certified Software Factory provides a powerful combination of global technologies that reduce the risk and increase quality for device software platforms that must meet the stringent safety certifications required by the FAA and EASA.
The Scade KCG Qualified Code Generator uniquely removes testing challenges of avionics display and control systems".
"Wind River's DSO solutions are a perfect fit for the Scade Certified Software Factory", states Eric Bantegnie, CEO of Esterel Technologies.
"Coupling our Scade Suite and Scade Display products with the world's largest device software code base enables our joint customers to rapidly create, deploy and safety-certify systems with minimal risk and rework".
"Industry-leading programmes like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Eurocopter EC-135 platforms can now easily benefit from the integration of these powerful tools".
