IGL - A safety-critical, DO-178 certifiable implementation of an OpenGL software renderer

IGL®

A safety-critical, DO-178 certifiable implementation of an OpenGL® software renderer

A highly flexible graphics renderer, IGL® offers all the benefits of a software-driven OpenGL® graphics engine. Efficient and with a small footprint, IGL gives application developers a wide range of implementation options for providing safety-critical real-time graphics on many different systems without the need for a dedicated GPU.

  • Reduce SWaP — Reduce Size, Weight and Power of your avionics hardware with a software-based graphics processor.
  • Eliminate hardware obsolescence — Remove the dependency on ever changing graphics processing hardware.
  • Designed to withstand the harshest environments — Ideal for displays requiring radiation tolerance.
  • Reduces lifecycle cost — Eliminate the need for extra hardware and certification costs by using a software graphics renderer.

IGL Advantages

  • Platform-independent — Designed to work with any real-time operating system or processor.
  • Certifiable to DO-178C Level A — IGL Certification Kit meets the highest Design Assurance Level defined by the FAA.
  • Safety-critical Graphics — Ensure the highest quality graphics for mission- and safety-critical displays.
  • Small footprint — Small and efficient implementation offers developers a multitude of implementation options.
