Rapita and SYSGO underline partnership

Rapita Systems, a leading verification solutions supplier to the global avionics market, and SYSGO, a leading supplier of embedded software solutions for the world's most demanding safety and security applications, have published a white paper with guidance on how to efficiently meet A(M)C 20-193 objectives for multicore software certified to DO-178C guidelines.

The document discusses the relevant guidance and certification context for developing and verifying multicore software for DO-178C and outlines how interference can be mitigated and software timing behavior analyzed using SYSGO’s PikeOS RTOS and Rapita’s MACH¹⁷⁸ solution.

It demonstrates how to achieve key A(M)C 20-193 activities across the DO-178C life cycle with examples showing how a multicore platform running on an NXP® T2080 QDS processor can be verified.

“We’re delighted to continue to work together with SYSGO to offer helpful resources for DO-178C avionics developers. We hope that our new white paper will support individuals and organizations new or otherwise to the additional activities required for the certification of multicore DO-178C software in adherence with A(M)C 20-193 guidance.”

Andrea Beer, Marketing Manager, Rapita Systems

“The partnership with Rapita is a long cooperation since many years that helps customers combine SYSGO’s PikeOS with Rapita software verification tools to increase evidence of multicore timing behavior and achieve certifiable software in avionics.”
