Evaluation Results
- Did some work to port their FACE application from Posix to Deos native, but it took longer than they had to meet a demo deadline.
- License expired end of March.
- May do so more work later on but yet to be determined.
- They still have our fitpc2 hardware.
Projects
Code Name
FACE FACE stands for Future Airborne Capability Environment. It is a U.S. Military initiative to provide architectural application standards for military avionics.
Install and Training at Tucson Embedded - December 17, 2014
Recap
Installed without issue. Setup and trained on fitpc2 target. Left them my fitpc2 target for the evaluations.
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
