The IData 178’s DO-178B Render Engine offers avionics developers the full capabilities of IData’s extensible HMI modeling and rendering system to enable developers to produce fully-certifiable cursor-controlled applications that rival the sophistication of desktop applications. Because IData 178 offers the smallest OpenGL footprint and optimal driver compatibility available, IData 178 applications are assured compatibility with popular certifiable OpenGL subsets that developers commonly use including OpenGL ES Safety Critical profile defined by the Khronos Group and with OpenGL subsets offered by industry leading DO-178B OpenGL driver providers including Seaweed Systems and ALT Software as deployed in COTS certifiable RTOS environments such as LynxOS 178, Wind River VxWorks and Green Hills Integrity, as well as proprietary RTOS environments.
