Evaluation Results
- They liked the way the tools worked but didn't really have enough time to evaluate. They will need to have funding to complete and this has not happen yet.
Projects
Code Name

Install and Training at Redstone Arsenal - October 9 - October 10, 2014
Recap
- The lab I was installing in does not allow the use of USB stick so I had to burn a DVD to take it in. I did this and tested it on my system the day before with no issues.
- Windows 7 system install. In order to run setup the system required an admin login. Then the install proceeded to completion.
- When we tried to run Open Arbor we got an error: I didn't write it down but it was a java file access error in combination with an (access denied)
I talked to Josh and determined that following were not created and therefore were file not found. C:\DDCI_modelo20140821\desk\etc\xsd\DEOS_*.*
- Since the distribution was installed as an admin all the files and directories were owned by the admin so when we tried to run OpenArbor as a regular user thus the failure.
- From talking with Josh, we decided that we could get the Admin back over and have him login and run OpenArbor to generate these files. This worked but then other things failed.
- We determined the best course of action was to change permissions so that regular users had access to all the files.
- I got the Admin over to do that and it turned out that was very difficult to do because we do not have all the subdirectories inherit the parents permissions. But we finally got everything working
Key concerns for Evaluation
- FACE Conformance(ARINC653 only since we don't have POSIX yet)
- They have A653 applications that were written to other RTOS (VX653 & Intgrity 178)
- Goals
- Assess the difficulty of moving these applications to Deos
- Assess the Arinc653 Compliance
