Aldec to deliver DO-254 Hardware Testing Presentation at Certification Together Intl. Conference (CTIC)

Toulouse, France – February 18, 2015 – Aldec, Inc. together with EASA, FAA, Boeing, Airbus, Thales and other leading avionics regulatory experts, will be presenting at the Certification Together International Conference (CTIC) to be held in Toulouse, France from February 24-26, 2015. Aldec is also a platinum sponsor for the conference.

The CTIC is dedicated to addressing system, software and hardware certification challenges. This year, Aldec will present “Hardware Testing of SoC FPGAs for DO-254”, highlighting Aldec’s cumulative experience gained in working across multiple DO-254 design assurance Level A projects.  

“The popularity of SoC FPGAs in the avionics industry is increasing due to benefits such as higher system performance, reliability, flexibility and lower system cost. However, with new technologies new challenges arise, especially where DO-254 is required,” said Louie De Luna, Aldec DO-254 Program Manager. “In Aldec’s technical presentation at the CTIC, we will introduce the concept of transaction level verification and its advantages over bit-level verification and share our experience from several DO-254 projects we have been working on.”

Aldec will also demonstrate its DO-254 end-to-end solution for FPGAs including:

• Requirements, Traceability and Tests Management
• HDL Coding Standards and CDC Analysis
• Mixed-Language Simulation, VHDL 2008, SystemVerilog, UVM
• Code Coverage, Assertions and Functional Coverage
• FPGA Hardware In-Target Testing
• Transaction Level Emulation for SoC FPGAs
