Abstract:
The invention pertains to a configurable input/output processing device, a method for configuring the configurable input/output processing device and a computer program product for performing the steps of the method. The configurable input/output processing device (6) is arranged to control data traffic associated to a distributed avionics control system comprising a plurality of processing nodes interconnected in a network (2), wherein each of the plurality of processing nodes is connected to the network via at least one of said configurable input/output processing device. The configurable input/output processor comprise first instructions (CCR), said first instructions comprising processing information for the at least one input/output processing device and being independent of a current configuration of the distributed avionics control system and second instructions (SCT), said second instructions being dependent on the current configuration of the distributed avionics control system.

Abstract:
A vehicular control system including a plurality of displays each including a physical display unit and memory module including information related to descriptions of a plurality of displayable entities and first configuration data, associated to a first control module. The first configuration data including information on configuration of the displayable entities, based on references to the descriptions of the plurality of displayable entities. The memory module of each display comprises a copy of the first configuration data. The first control module is arranged to transmit data based on point-to-multipoint communication to each of the plurality of displays. The plurality of displays each includes a processor operatively coupled to the memory module. The processor is arranged to process the entities based on received data from the first control module and to present the result of the processing on the physical display unit of each of the displays.
Abstract:
A system, a method and a computer program product for managing memory access of an avionics control system having at least one control computer having at least one memory control device. The method includes assigning a memory access of at least one unique memory region of at least one memory unit to each of at least one application task or task set. A memory access of at least one application data update task is assigned to at least one subregion of one or more of the at least one unique memory region. At least one data parameter is written to the at least one subregion and the assigned memory access of the at least one application data update task de-activated.
