Development system for rapidly prototyping complex ARINC 653-based avionics introduced by TTTech
VIENNA – TTTech Computertechnik AG in Vienna is introducing a development system for rapidly prototyping complex ARINC 653-based integrated modular avionics (IMA) applications to ease developing advanced integrated architectures.
The development system includes AFDX 1 Gigabit ARINC 664 and SAE Time-Triggered Ethernet AS6802 network integration.
The ARINC 653 Avionics Application Standard Software Interface is a software specification for space and time partitioning in safety-critical avionics real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Distributed Integrated Modular Avionics (Distributed IMA), as described in RTCA DO-297, represent a class of IMA architectures that use deterministic, high-integrity communication capabilities. This class of integrated architectures enables deterministic control of embedded resources and reduces integration complexity.

For systems integrators who are designing advanced integrated architectures and mixed criticality systems, TTTech offers the TTEDevelopment System A664 v4.1 for VxWorks 653, with ARINC 653 drivers, interface support and Deterministic Ethernet network.
The preconfigured and ready-to-run solution includes a Distributed IMA demonstration application, TTTech’s TTEthernet switches and end systems, as well as two single-board computers.
Compared to existing IMA designs, Distributed IMA architectures offer advantages like improved support for reconfiguration, predictive maintenance, incremental modernization, and certification.
These features enable systemd integrators to develop modular, scalable, and optimized integrated architectures with low system complexity and life cycle costs.

This class of architectures provides design patterns that are at the core of the existing automotive autonomous driving assistance systems (ADAS) that are suited for hosting future automated aircraft and autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications.
As such, TTEDevelopment System A664 v4.1 for VxWorks 653 provides additional opportunities and abilities for size, weight and power (SWaP) optimization and robust integration of next-generation integrated architectures.
