Updated MIL-STD-1553 avionics databus application programming interface (API) software introduced by Holt

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. – Holt Integrated Circuits in Aliso Viejo, Calif., is updating the company's MIL-STD-1553 avionics integrated terminal application programming interface (API).

The Holt Portable Library (HPL) API now supports all Holt's MIL-STD-1553 terminal devices to provide a layer of abstraction using standardized functions, and enable software portability for all Holt devices across several different platforms and processors.

The MIL-STD-1553 avionics interface HPL release is thread-safe and re-entrant, ensuring that several threads can operate on the same code without errors. A new RT-MT Stack Assist Mode monitor feature enables more efficient handling of interrupts.

Holt provides an Application Development Kit (ADK-2130mPCIe-2) reference design in the form of a full-size F2 Mini PCI Express card, which features two of Holt's HI-2130 MIL-STD 1553 terminals with integrated transformers.

The card is designed to operate in a PC or single-board computer running Linux. The reference design includes a schematic, BOM, board layout files, PCI Express interface FPGA source code, HPL API, and a sample project.
