As part of our hardware development process, FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) development is rigorously aligned with RTCA DO-254 processes to ensure compliance with safety-critical standards.
We offer services for system engineering with accordance with arp4754b/ arp4761 for system, subsystem and component level.
We specialize in delivering complex FPGA solutions for avionics, incorporating advanced capabilities such as data processing algorithms and control logic for the operation and management of integrated components within embedded systems. Our FPGA solutions support a variety of applications, from signal processing to the coordination of complex system functions, enhancing both performance and operational efficiency.
We have the ability to engage in all stages of the lifecycle described in RTCA DO-254, from initial planning and requirements definition to design, implementation, verification, and certification. We are equipped to participate at any phase, ensuring full compliance with safety and quality standards throughout the process. We can also engage in various milestones throughout the project lifecycle, such as the Stage of Involvement (SOI).
We offer services for a wide range of FPGA types, including Xilinx, Intel (Altera) and Microsemi…
FPGA Validation and Verification:
Verification and validation are paramount to the development of reliable and certified FPGA solutions. We adhere strictly to RTCA DO-254 verification processes, which are essential for avionics hardware development. Our team not only designs but also conducts comprehensive verification, ensuring that all FPGA designs meet the safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements for aviation applications.
Verification and validation (V&V) are crucial steps in both software and hardware development, particularly in avionics systems. AMC 20-152 outlines several V&V activities to ensure compliance with certification requirements.
We support the FPGA verification process by conducting thorough checks at each stage of development, from unit testing through to system integration, ensuring functional correctness, performance, and compliance with established standards. This includes the following key activities:
-Functional Verification: Ensuring that all logic and algorithms are implemented as expected, with a focus on safety and reliability.
-Timing and Performance Validation: Verifying that the design meets the required performance metrics under real-world conditions, especially in high-demand, mission-critical environments.
-Interface Verification: Ensuring compliance with avionics interface standards such as ARINC-429, ARINC-825 (CAN bus protocol for airborne systems), and common high- and low-speed interfaces like PCIe, UART, SPI, and I²C.
-Certification Support: We facilitate the verification and certification process up to DAL-A level, ensuring that designs meet the most stringent certification standards for safety-critical applications.
Through these comprehensive verification and validation measures, we ensure that all FPGA designs are fully compliant with industry standards and ready for integration into high-performance avionics systems.
