SOCORRO, N.M., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- FSMLabs, (http://www.fsmlabs.com) today announced ARINC 653 scheduling is now available in RTLinuxPro(R). Designed for avionics control and advanced hardware-in-loop simulation, ARINC 653 provides a fully protected and partitioned scheduling environment configured using a standard XML format. The ARINC scheduler has been added to FSMLabs' industry leading Process Space Development Domain (PSDD) product which executes real-time threads in the address space of Linux or BSD processes. Richard Bond, in his work as Principal Real-Time Specialist for Lockheed-Martin developed an RTLinuxPro based simulator, contributes:

"RTLinuxPro and PSDD enabled a simple simulation framework, allowed me the

choice to develop user-level I/O drivers, and provided outstanding

performance. ARINC 653 support will make this tool even more useful." PSDD is especially well suited to large scale simulation and test applications. Dean Anneser, a Software Engineering Fellow at Pratt & Whitney says: "PSDD provides a very stable cost effective scalable multi-platform

solution for our simulation, control, and data acquisition systems." FSMLabs ARINC 653 partitions use RTCore's POSIX standard API: threads, semaphores, shared memory and other standard interfaces. Applications may be written in "C," C++, and FORTRAN. ADA support is planned. A single device can run ARINC partitions alongside standard RTCore threads, Linux and Linux applications. Multi-processor systems can run multiple ARINC "cabinets" and may reserve processors for real-time where ultimate performance is required. Even without reservation, FSMLabs ARINC 653 provides low microsecond hard real-time execution.

ARINC 653 support is an optional component for the RTLinuxPro development kit, which provides all of the tools needed to build hard real-time applications out of the box, including all development tools. Other options include an Eclipse based IDE, a complete Carrier Grade Linux distribution, VME direct drive, and real-time networking. Availability: Immediate for x86, PPC, 64/32bit, uniprocessors, SMP & multi-core. FSMLabs is a privately held company, founded in 1998, with worldwide operations. FSMLabs products include RTLinux, RTCoreBSD, LNet real-time networking, VxIT VxWorks migration tools, and the ControlsKit XML/RPC interface builder.
