SubscribeDDC introduces newly enhanced Software Development Kits (SDK) for MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 data bus applications.
1553 / 429 Data Bus
The SDKs allow users to develop “C” source code to simulate, monitor, or troubleshoot 1553 and/or 429 data buses simultaneously or independently with support for the latest operating system versions including VxWorks® 6, Linux® 2.6, and Windows® 2000/XP. These SDKs enable users to quickly integrate DDC’s multi-protocol avionics PMC (BU-65590F/M) into their “C” code applications. A common SDK exists across all operating systems allowing the programmer portability across multiple platforms. The easy-to-use high-level functions abstract all low-level hardware accesses and memory allocation such that specific hardware knowledge is not required.
PMC Card - BU-65590F/M
The BU-65590F/M is a multi-protocol PMC card that provides up to four dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels, sixteen ARINC 429 receive channels, six ARINC 429 transmit channels, six user programmable Digital Discrete I/Os, two RS-232 Serial I/O channels, two RS- 422/485 Serial I/O channels, and an IRIG-B time synchronization input. Each 1553 channel supports new standard features such as 1 MB RAM with parity per channel, 48-bit/1μs or 100ns time tag, and built-in self-test.
Hardware Offload Engine - Low PCI Bus and Host CPU Utilization
An intelligent hardware offload engine provides extremely low PCI bus and host CPU utilization while storing 1553 Monitor data in a convenient IRIG-106 Chapter 10 format. The industry standard IRIG-106 Chapter 10 format is commonly used for digital flight data recorders. The card can be ordered with either rear or front panel I/O and is available for convection or conduction cooled applications.
“The combination of multiple protocols on one board saves valuable PMC slots for applications that use a combination of 1553, 429, and serial data uses”, said Mike Hegarty, DDC’s MIL-STD-1553 Marketing Manager.
