DO-254 - Solutions for Requirements Based FPGA Design Flows

7
RTCA/DO-254 “Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware” is a standard that is currently being
enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other worldwide aviation certification agencies. The purpose of
DO-254 is to ensure the safety of in-flight hardware. All FPGA (or ASIC) devices that go in systems that fly must now
adhere to the DO-254 standard. The stringency of the process is dictated by the design assurance level (DAL, or safety
rating) of the end system, levels A (highest) through E (lowest). Designing to DO-254 level A/B compliance standards can
be a very costly venture. Leveraging training, expertise, and the right tools can help defray much of this added cost.

Mentor Graphics solutions deliver a best-practice methodology for requirements based design, to help you meet both
your DO-254 and quality objectives while improving the productivity of your flows and valuable resources.

Mentor Graphics is conducting a 4 day paid DO-254 Compliance training including an introduction to tools for use in
this program.

Training imparted by:
