Description

The EU-funded "qualification of High pErformance pRogrammable Microprocessor and dEvelopment of Software ecosystem (HERMES)" project was launched in March 2021 to increase the rad-hard NG-ULTRA SoC TRL to 6 and to develop and validate a software ecosystem that will allow users to take full advantage of the capabilities of this platform.

FentISS collaborates in this project, jointly with Airbus Defence and Space France, Thales Alenia Space France, NanoXplore, Politecnico Di Milano and ST-Micro Electronics by adapting our XtratuM-NG hypervisor, the RTEMS6 ESA QDP and a Linux MMU-less version to this hardware platform and by delta-qualifying the XtratuM hypervisor for an ECSS category-B.

On the other hand, the CNES "XtratuM NG porting and qualification on NG-LARGE" study was launched June 2022 where the role of FentISS is to adapt our XtratuM-NG hypervisor and our LithOS run-time ARINC653-like to the NG-LARGE SoC and delta-qualifying the XtratuM-NG hypervisor for an ECSS category-B.

This presentation describes the progress on our work for both, the NG-LARGE SoC and the NG-ULTRA SoC boards where:

1. all the planned prototypes (i.e. XtratuM-NG, RTEMS6 and Linux MMU-less for the NG-ULTRA SoC and XtratuM-NG and LithOS for the NG-LARGE SoC) are already available.
2. we have started the ECSS delta-qualification of XtratuM-NG for integrating the NG-ULTRA and NG-LARGE support into this product.
