In the previous article, we conducted a simple analysis of firmware. In this article, we will supplement some knowledge of Vxworks and continue our research into firmware content. As this involves operating system content, it is recommended that readers have a basic understanding of operating systems before reading this article, or refer to my article … Read more
Reprinted from Linux Fan What operating systems are generally used on airplanes? This is the answer many people have been wanting to know. This section is based on an answer from V friends reprinted from Baidu Zhidao: Aerospace software is not mysterious; from a computer architecture perspective, it is not much different from ordinary computer … Read more
What is an Embedded System? An embedded system is a dedicated computer system designed for specific applications, based on computer technology, and customizable in both hardware and software. It is typically embedded within other devices or products to control, monitor, or perform specific tasks. Examples of applications for embedded systems include controllers in smartphones, automotive … Read more
Follow us for free subscription to avionics news. Abstract This paper studies the priority allocation methods for multitasking in single-processor embedded real-time systems. Firstly, the Deadline Monotonic (DM) priority allocation method is selected to allocate priorities for the tasks designed for the avionics relay system’s data acquisition and stimulus software. Then, the schedulability theory analysis … Read more
In this article, we will briefly understand the device drivers in VxWorks and complete the reverse analysis of the entire firmware main logic, while reproducing the last known vulnerability of the firmware. This article was actually written a long time ago, but was delayed for several days due to the Shandong Provincial Competition… I apologize … Read more
