OpenGL SC / DO-178B

OpenGL SC / DO-178B Level A certifiable graphics display drivers

ALT Software's DO-178B certifiable graphics display drivers enable avionics developers to create content-rich graphics applications and user interfaces for mission and safety-critical systems deployed in aerospace and defense environments. ALT’s drivers are certifiable up to Design Assurance Level A, the highest level of software criticality recognized by the FAA, EASA, Transport Canada and the JAA.  These drivers can be used in any embedded computing system where the strictest levels of reliability are mandated by a regulatory agency, including the FDA Class III standard for life-critical devices.

ALT’s modular driver architecture allows us to customize the driver as required and generate additional certification artifacts as needed on a component-by-component basis. This significantly reduces the time and costs of customization and certification. ALT offers a variety of product options including the driver binary, binary plus source code, diagnostic tools, and the full set of artifacts required to certify the driver in its target environment.
