Sorry, I can't go into detail on this stuff; our Marketing considers it confidential. I'm only a s/w guy, so I can't tell you what's required to get their interest anyway. If you know someone who has a project that uses our GPUs in an avionics application, let me know directly and I'll pass the info on to the right people.

As for how to get through DO178B, it's not easy :-). There are consultants out there that you can work with, who know all the ins and outs.

Tom,

 

Do you know what it takes to get the test cases, test results, and other information the FAA will want to see when certifying a product using your devices?  Do you know what kind of quantities are required by NVIDA before it will produce that kind of documentation?  Finally, do you know who we would need to contact to get more information about this kind of effort?

 

Thanks for the heads up on this. 

 

Kevin

Hi Brent,

I also work at NVIDIA. I'm a senior s/w manager in the Embedded s/w group; my team writes drivers for 3D and system s/w. We do certify our chips to Do178b; they are currently flying in a number of aircraft.
