Recent trends in embedded system development have made designing – and delivering – advanced air-mobility systems more challenging than ever before. Game-changing and innovative technology advances are being realized in software, resulting in large code bases that are more complex. Software teams are growing in size as well, but often not in line with the growth in software content and complexity. In addition, teams must comply with rapidly changing industry standards without missing launch dates or exceeding budget constraints. Changes in embedded development affect the design life cycle – from concept to achieving airworthiness certification. Design teams can take certain steps to address these changes while maintaining functional safety, supply-chain security, reliability, and time-to-market demands.

MUNICH. Safety-critical embedded software company TASKING announced that it acquired LDRA (Wirral, U.K.), a provider of software tools for code analysis and software testing for safety-, mission-, security-, and business-critical markets.  

WIRRAL, United Kingdom. Safety- and mission-critical software testing firm LDRA announced in a statement that it has joined the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Consortium, The Open Group's vendor- and platform-agnostic forum for industry and government to collaboratively develop open standards and best practices.

PHOENIX, Arizona, and WIRRAL, U.K. DDC-I and LDRA announced an enhanced integration between the Deos safety-critical DO-178C certifiable RTOS [real-time operating system] and the LDRA tool suite with the integrated solution qualified to Design Assurance Level A (DAL A), 

In the dynamic aviation sector, coping with the influx of new technologies, standards, and challenges is increasingly complex. 

WIRRAL, United Kingdom. LDRA and Frontgrade Gaisler have announced a partnership to further software development for critical systems, the companies announced in a statement.

BOSTON, Mass. Mission-critical software company LDRA announced that it has been chosen as the FACE [Future Airborne Capability Environment] Verification Authority (VA) for Lynx Software Technologies, a company that develops open architecture software solutions for mission-critical embedded systems. Lynx will earn independent validation and verification (IVV) of its software -- designed to conform with the latest FACE Technical Standard, edition 3.1 -- as it works with LDRA Certification Services (LCS),
