DO-331 Model-Based Design for DO-178C Verification
DO-331 Model-Based Design for DO-178C Verification Last week, we talked about the “pudding” of DO-178C projects. That, of course, being the implementation stage of a DO-178C guided avionics software project. We touched on establishing implementation decisions and standards in [...]
Common DO-254 Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
In our 20+ years in avionics and aerospace engineering, we’ve rarely seen an organization easily and quickly build and certify a project to DO-254 standards. That’s no surprise; DO-254 is vague, ironically software-centric, and complex. In truth, DO-254 is rarely [...]
