Connext Cert

The first safety-certifiable software framework for safety and mission-critical real-world systems.

Overview

Connext Cert is a software framework, based on the DDSâ„¢ standard, that enables system architects to build open and modular, safety-critical and real-world systems. Connext Cert can save tens of thousands of lines of application software code and millions of dollars in associated integration costs. It aligns with industry-leading open architecture initiatives including FACETM, UCS and OMS.

Connext Cert streamlines application logic and removes the need for custom networking code by offering robust run-time libraries with publish/subscribe communication APIs. Connext Cert can remove the need for tens of thousands of lines of application software code, along with the requirement to produce corresponding certification artifacts. Connext Cert can reduce the time, cost and risk of device and system-level certification.
Connext Cert can provide reusable certification evidence: A baseline for other industry-specific functional safety standards including IEC 61508 (industrial), IEC 60601/IEC 62304 (medical devices), DO-178C (avionics), and ISO 26262 (automotive).

Connext Drive is TÃœV SÃœD-certified to ASIL D to meet the Safety Lifecycle requirements set forth by ISO 26262. Connext Drive includes all the necessary Safety artifacts and Safety Manual, which can significantly reduce Functional Safety Lifecycle efforts for system integrators.

RTI Connext TSS is certified conformant to the FACE TSS software standard. RTI Connext TSS offers commercial RTCA DO-178C and EUROCAE ED-12C DAL A certification evidence audited by a third party for rapid and reliable airworthiness review.

FEATURES

  • Certified for SEooC that allows the reuse of embedded software and protects a certified environment from disruption
  • The code is developed using process guidelines, and all memory allocation is done at startup and no memory is freed at run-time
  • Provides a library optimized for small footprint applications, with minimal memory allocation
  • Highly compatible with most MCU architectures and OS such as QNX for Safety, Classic AUTOSAR with Elektrobit’s EB tresos, or SAFERTOS
  • Fault Detection and Data Protection
  • In case data is lost or delayed, Connext Cert can notify the application and re-send the data as required
  • In case of Information that is out of order, Connext Cert will collect data fragments and re-assemble them in the correct order
  • Connext Cert enables users to configure CRCs to detect data corruption and notify the sender to retransmit data
