Rugged open-systems embedded computing boards for safety-critical avionics applications introduced by Abaco

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Abaco Systems Inc. in Huntsville, Ala., is introducing two embedded computing board products: the SBC314C single-board computer and RAR15XC avionics data bus communications XMC mezzanine board, for embedded flight-certifiable applications. The two are available as separate boards.

The SBC314C 3U VPX single board computer, based on the NXP QorIQ T2081 Multicore Communications Power architecture processor, is built to DO-254 DAL-A and features a Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) site. It is pin-compatible with the SBC314, providing a pathway to flight certification. The SBC314C supports I/O that includes Gigabit Ethernet, serial communication ports, USB 2.0, SATA, and GPIO.

The SBC314C has Power-on Built-In Test (PBIT) and Bootloader, both built to DO-178C DAL-A, and supports ARINC 653 operating systems including VxWorks 653, Deos, INTEGRITY-178 tuMP, and LynxOS-178 for integrators designing modular avionics.

The RAR15XC XMC board delivers MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 data bus communications as well as avionics discrete I/O. The RAR15XC is pin-compatible with the RAR15X and is for aircraft systems. It is engineered for safety-critical avionics applications.
