- Take a requirement specification to a working application
- Develop, test, and debug safety-critical applications with the VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) running as a guest in a Helix Platform system
- Accelerate the development and configuration of ARINC 653 safety-critical systems
- Use Helix Platform–specific Wind River Workbench facilities to configure Helix Platform applications
- Build applications within partitions, and use ARINC ports for I/O from partitions
- Use core tools efficiently: debugger, Wind River System Viewer.
Products Supported
- Helix Virtualization Platform Cert Edition for ARMv8 (version 21.12)
Course Format
- This four-day expert-led course consists of lectures and lab sessions.
- Attendees use Helix Platform to gain experience with the topics presented.
- Participants examine and exercise simulated network topologies in hands-on labs.
- Participants receive individual guidance from an expert engineer who has extensive experience with Wind River technologies.
Audience
