Abstract:
1. A method for configuring synchronous table-driven operations of a distributed avionics control system said method comprising the steps of: providing a global timing configuration file (X providing a plurality of application configuration files (X providing a node assignment configuration file (X detecting data communication paths, based on processing information from the node assignment configuration file and the plurality of application configuration files so as to detect a plurality of communication paths formed between at least a first processing subcomponent, associated to at least a first unit of data, to be periodically exported and at least a second processing subcomponent associated to a different application than said first processing subcomponent, wherein said at least first unit of data is intended to be periodically imported into said at least second processing subcomponent; detecting communication requirements, associated to delay constraints along the detected communication paths, based on processing information from the plurality of application configuration files and information from the detected data communication paths relating to the processing period associated to the processing subcomponents, forming data communication paths, so as to detect a periodic communication window (CW generating a system schedule configuration file, by allocating to the plurality of communication time-slots (SL generating system configuration data based on information from the system schedule configuration file, said generation comprising providing system tables associated to each of the plurality of processing nodes (S providing the system configuration data to the plurality of processing nodes (S periodically and based upon the provided system configuration data, at least one of importing or exporting, via the plurality of processing nodes (S
