Electronic avionics system with additional configuration file

Abstract

Avionics system includes a bootstrap package including system partitions, and a primary configuration table, of a first type with hardware resource configuration values, a boot automaton launching the bootstrap package, at least one secondary configuration table of a second type with configuration values usable by a set of partitions, tertiary system configuration tables for the set of partitions, of a third type with configuration values used by a respective partition, application partitions, each including an avionics application and a tertiary configuration table, of the third type and containing configuration values of resources used by the respective application partition. The boot automaton checks whether an additional configuration file is present, and launches the additional configuration file including at least one configuration table of the first, second or third type, same being used instead of a table of the same type among the primary, secondary, tertiary system and tertiary application tables.
