Green Hills has the lot for Cirrus Crystal
The latest IDE, RTOS and embedded internet connectivity products from Green Hills Software are for the Cirrus Logic Crystal CS89712 32bit RISC commmunications processor.
The software running in both systems has been certified to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) standard for safety-critical software, RTCA/DO-178B.
Both the FAA and European Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) were involved in the certification process.
"Smiths Aerospace selected Green Hills Software's AdaMulti development environment and GMart run-time system for the ELMS2 and FQIS because these systems met our safety requirements and supported the low power and low cost Freescale ColdFire 5307 processor that we were using", said Dave Bolton, Principal Software Engineer at Smiths Aerospace.
"GMart also reduced our development effort because we were able to use Green Hills Software's certification package, including design and verification data, in our FAA certification submittal".
"We are pleased that Smiths Aerospace, like other major avionics manufacturers, is using Green Hills Software's solutions to optimise development of their safety-critical devices", commented Dan O'Dowd, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Green Hills Software.
"Avionics manufacturers are increasingly recognising that they can reduce the time, cost and risk of software development and certification by using our robust and proven off-the-shelf DO-178B solutions".
"This is why, in addition to the Boeing 777-300ER, Green Hills Software has also been selected for multiple safety-critical systems on both the Boeing 787 and Airbus A380, among others". Request a free brochure from Green Hills Software ...
