DO-178C explained
In a recent article in Avionics Intelligence, Cyrille Comar and others describe the upcoming DO-178C standard and the differences between it and the existing DO-178B one:
“Avionics software designers are quite familiar with the DO-178B certification process for flight software from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). However, current technology trends in software code development are requiring new verification and certification approaches, so industry and government experts are building a new certification called DO-178C to address these concerns.” To read the full article, please click here.

Open source and certified systems
Carlo Daffara has sent through this interesting post that looks at the myth that Open Source software isn’t appropriate for building systems that require certification…Thanks Carlo!
The popular idea that open source, as a collaboratively developed system, does not have the intrinsic quality or reliability to be part of life critical system is quite common. As an example a recent white paper, published by the Election Technology Council (an industry trade association representing providers for over 90% of the voting systems used in the United States), analyses the potential role of open source software in voting systems, and claims that the inherent process that creates OSS is unable to meet the quality standard necessary for a system that must meet strict certifications.
