Providing an open interface to a navigation system is provided herein. A single partition (or more than one partition) of a partitioned operating system can be utilized to provide connectivity between a navigation system and one or more user equipment devices. Thus, the navigation system and the one or more user equipment devices can be communicatively coupled via the at least one partition. Further, a Software Development Kit (SDK) can be configured to enable bi-directional communication between the navigation system and the one or more user equipment devices. In addition, the SDK can provide security for the navigation system when communicating with the one or more user equipment devices.

Providing an open interface to a flight management system

A system and method of multi-level scheduling analysis for a general processing module of a real-time operating system. The method includes identifying any processes within respective partitions of the general processing module, for each identified process, determining if the process is local-time centric or global-time centric. The method converts global-time centric process to a local-time centric process, applies a single-level scheduling analysis technique to the processes of respective partitions, and transforms local-time based response times to global-time based response times. The method performs scheduling and response time analyses on one or more of the identified processes of respective partitions. The method can be performed on a synchronous and/or asynchronous system, and on a hierarchical scheduling system that includes a top level scheduler having a static-cyclic schedule and/or a general static schedule. A system and non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
