Abaco Systems and CoreAVI announce partnership extension for flight-certifiable graphics processing

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.- Abaco Systems, Inc. and CoreAVI announced an extension of their partnership through the signing of a licensing agreement that allows Abaco to implement the AMD Embedded Radeon E9171 GPU, associated COTS-D hardware IP, and Vulkan graphics and compute capabilities from CoreAVI into a new rugged embedded graphics processor to be produced and delivered by Abaco.

The new offering provides a low-risk solution for systems integrators requiring safety-critical certification for graphics processing in high-integrity visual applications such as cockpit display, navigation, synthetic vision, sensor fusion, as well as critical-process vision and graphics systems in medical, energy, industrial automation and more.

This partnership gives customers access to the first-to-market safety critical AMD E9171 GPU as a COTS product designed to meet RTCA DO-254/DO-178C (EUROCAE ED-80/ED-12C) up to Design Assurance Level (DAL) A for flight-certifiable applications in military and civilian aviation. It also supports other process/mission-critical applications that may not require safety certification but still necessitate high performance real-time graphics and compute processing.
