1. A flight recorder system of an aircraft, comprising:
a resource controller module (RCM) configured to be communicatively coupled, via a data communication network defining a switch fabric and configured to received data therefrom, to a set of flight recorder system modules (FRM); and
each FRM comprising a respective control module, a respective local memory, and a respective set of input and output (I/O) ports communicatively coupled to the switch fabric adapted to record data related to aircraft operational, each FRM of the set of FRM comprising one of a cockpit voice recorder module (CVR), a flight data recorder module (FDR), or a crash-survivable recording module (CSR);
wherein the RCM is configured to detect a respective FRM coupled to the switch fabric, and based on the detection, configure an operation of the FRM, and wherein the respective local memory of the FRM is readable by the RCM, and shareable with the other FRMs via the switch fabric; and
wherein the data received by the RCM is indicative of a current phase of flight of the aircraft, and wherein the RCM is further programmed to configure an operation of the switch fabric based on the indicated phase of flight of the aircraft.
