DO-178C and Related Standards
DO-178C is an update to the DO-178B standard and contains supplements that map closely with current industry development and verification practices including: Model-Based Development and Verification (DO-331) and Formal Methods (DO-333). Tool qualification is addressed in DO-330.
MATLAB and Simulink support Model-Based Design for DO-178C as illustrated below, and described in this video series.
“Modeling with Simulink is instrumental to our team’s ARP 4754 work, specifically validating system-level requirements, developing requirements-based tests, and defining low-level software requirements that our supplier uses to produce DO-178 Level A flight code using Simulink and Embedded Coder.”
Rodrigo Fontes Souto, Embraer
