RTOS to host open avionics system
Barco has selected the Integrity-178B real-time operating system for its new MOSArt avionics open system
Barco has selected the Integrity-178B real-time operating system (RTOS) for its new MOSArt avionics open system. MOSArt is an ARINC 653 compliant modular open system architecture for real-time avionics applications. MOSArt's open, modular approach leads to a reduced weight and power consumption, improved MTBF as well as allowing every partition to have a different criticality level (up to DO178B level A).

The MOSArt architecture allows system integrators to easily develop and/or integrate their own software on Barco's powerful open hardware platform.
By doing this, customers can preserve the intellectual property of their core technology (FMS, mission computer etc).
"We chose Integrity-178B from Green Hills as our first choice of RTOS for MOSArt because we strongly believe that this is the best product on the market for building ARINC 653 based modular open system architecture avionics subsystems," said Jean-Christophe Monfret, R and D Manager Software, BarcoView - Avionics.
Integrity-178B is an ARINC-653 compliant, hard real-time RTOS optimised for safety-critical and mission-critical applications that require the utmost security and fast, predictable response.
Using hardware memory protection and an advanced two-level partition scheduler, Integrity-178B provides complete time, space, and resource partitioning between applications operating on the same hardware platform.
Integrity-178B also provides guaranteed resource availability in both the time and space domains.
This combination facilitates "robust partitioning" (as defined in ARINC 653), enabling applications that have been assigned different DO-178B safety levels to run concurrently on the same processor.
Integrity-178B includes an RTOS simulator (ISIM) that enables programmers to develop and test their code on a PC or workstation without the need for target hardware.
Integrity-178B also features a real-time event analyser that enables viewing of system and user events in a graphical display.
