THE CHALLENGE

ELEVATE FEATURES FOR NEW DESIGN INTEGRATION

The customer was looking for a partner:

  • To develop a data collector FPGA to support the new set of features for an Interface Product. The task involved modifications and enhancement of the existing feature set from the previous iteration, and align it with the predefined product specifications.
  • Customer did not have an FPGA team available and wanted EXB to take ownership of the entire development process.

SOLUTION PROVIDED

  • Full design cycle artifacts. Design Requirements, VHDL code, design documents, Test artifacts including test cases, test scripts, tracing, run for score results.
  • Deployed well-rounded team to support all facets of the development, including Program Management, Design Lead, Verification Lead and supporting engineers with the skills to address the certification deliverables.
  • Used development kits to accomplish real-time testing.
  • Self-managed team.

FEATURES

  • Full Lifecycle development
  • VHDL development
  • Simulation testing
  • Test development
  • Full set of DO-254 design cycle documentation
    • Design Document
    • Test case development
    • Traceability Matrix
  • SOI Audit support

VALUE PROVIDED

  • The FPGA team successfully delivered early versions of the FPGA code, enabling the software driver development. This was critical as the software team was the long lead item for the overall program.
  • EXB demonstrated knowledge and expertise through past similar projects.
  • Proactive deployment of highly competent engineers along with dedicated SME with extensive FPGA experience.
  • Customer appreciated the engagement with EXB throughout the proposal process, from introduction to discovery to response.
  • Proved EXB’s FPGA design and test capability.
