IData® is data-driven, allowing users to quickly render design without generating code. Design once and apply to many displays; rapidly prototype with operator in the loop; and add enhancements without re-certifying.

IData — A Data-driven Approach

IData® is the only data-driven framework designed to accelerate the development of mission- and safety-critical embedded display applications. It provides a robust, flexible, and platform-independent environment to design, develop, prototype, and deploy high-fidelity graphics for any target display system, regardless of hardware or operating system.

  • Reduces Life Cycle Costs — Enables open-architecture, model-based development while supporting DO-178C certification requirements.
  • Lowers Certification Effort and Costs — The IData DO-178C certification kit streamlines compliance through a data-driven architecture that eliminates the need for code generators or custom source code.
  • High Performance Embedded Graphics — Optimized for real-time, safety-critical embedded platforms, delivering deterministic and reliable performance.
  • Reduces Development Effort — A single, integrated, platform-independent toolset for building mission- and safety-critical HMI displays.
  • Reduced Program Risk — DO-178C certifiable up to DAL A, meeting the highest FAA safety assurance levels.

Benefits and Features

  • Multi-Touch Cockpit Functionality — Supports flight deck customization, interface flexibility and space efficiency to reduce pilot workload and fatigue and meet reduced SWAP requirements by eliminating switches and knobs.
  • Khronos OpenGL® SC 1.0 and SC 2.0 Support — Maximizes the power of modern graphics programmable shader engines so developers can explore new possibilities in HMI design and performance while meeting industry safety standards and certification.
  • 2D/3D Digital Moving Maps — Improves situational awareness in any type of display (synthetic vision, situational awareness, terrain warning systems, etc.) with newly upgraded and integrated module of IDataMap 2.0. Display designers can design, build and certify customized maps to meet application needs.
  • Unique Space Application Support — Meets the unique needs of space applications, including SWAP requirements, radiation tolerance and compatibility across embedded environments (CPUs, GPUs, RTOS, etc.).
  • Certifiable to DO-178C Level A — Meets the highest Design Assurance Level defined by the FAA.
  • Aligned with Industry Standards — ARINC661, FACE, Khronos OpenGL ES/ SC, AS9100.
  • True Rapid Prototyping — No need to reboot, restart or reload the target system; the data produced from the HSL Generator can be overlaid on the target system on-the-fly.
  • Behavior-Based Animations — Assign animation behaviors to each primitive for unique runtime animations.
  • Design Once, Deploy to Many — The IData Runtime runs on all targets, i.e., embedded, simulator, tablet, etc.
