ASELSAN Selects CoreAVI’s Safety Critical OpenGL Driver and DO-178B DAL A Certification Package for its latest Avionics Mission Computer and Turkey’s Sikorsky Aircraft’s S-70i™ BLACK HAWK Helicopter
Tampa, Florida May 26, 2016. Core Avionics & Industrial Inc (“CoreAVI”) announced today that its OpenGL SC driver suite for the AMD Radeon™ E8860 graphics processor has been selected and successfully integrated on ASELSAN’s new advanced mission computer product line and Turkey’s Sikorsky Aircraft’s S-70i™ BLACK HAWK Helicopter. ASELSAN’s multi-function display system is utilizing CoreAVI’s OpenGL SC driver version that is configured for multi-core platforms, thereby enabling ASELSAN to unlock the full potential of advanced graphics across multi-core processing in a safety-critical platform. The collaboration between ASELSAN and CoreAVI includes the FAA DO-178B / DO-254 Level A avionics safety certification for the new advanced mission computer system.
CoreAVI’s suite of real-time OpenGL drivers, DO-178B and DO-254 certification packages, and 20-year component supply programs provide avionics and safety critical system manufacturers with low risk, high performance, and platform-scalable avionics graphics solutions. CoreAVI provides an extended temperature screened version of the AMD Radeon™ E8860 graphics processor and its related graphics driver products empowers avionics system manufacturers with an extremely scalable “power per watt” performance graphics processor to support a wide range of display and parallel processing applications in multi-core and multi-guest operating system virtualized environments.
“CoreAVI has proven through many successful avionics and safety certification programs that they are an important AMD Embedded business partner, enabling AMD Radeon graphics and SoC processors to be used in worldwide avionics systems” said Colin Cureton, director of enterprise product management, AMD. “We are pleased to see another successful collaborative effort between AMD and CoreAVI to support ASELSAN’s latest significant product milestone.”
