DDC-I announces ARINC 615 target data loader for Deos safety-critical RTOS

DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced the availability of an ARINC 615 target data loader (TDL) for its Deos™ safety-critical real-time operating system. The new TDL enables file transfers between ground systems and Deos-based avionics target devices equipped with AFDX, ARINC 429, or TCP/IP interfaces.

"ARINC 615 provides a flexible solution for uploading and downloading files in avionics systems," said Greg Rose, vice president of marketing and product management at DDC-I. "Now, systems running Deos can take full advantage of ARINC 615's versatile file transfer and data loading capabilities."

Deos is a safety-critical embedded RTOS that has been certified to DO-178B DAL A since 1998. Featuring deterministic real-time response, the time and space partitioned RTOS employs patented "slack scheduling" to deliver higher CPU utilization than any other certifiable safety-critical COTS RTOS. Deos is built from the ground up for safety-critical applications, and is the only certifiable time and space partitioned COTS RTOS that has been created using RTCA DO-178B, Level A processes from the very first day of its product development. Deos also provides the easiest, lowest cost path of any COTS RTOS to DO-178B Level A certification, the highest level of safety criticality.
