Abstract
AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) is a standard communication network for avionics based on Ethernet links and special-purpose switches. This paper proposes an AFDX emulator based on standard Ethernet hardware (cards and switches) to build a low cost AFDX network for training or basic research purposes. We also propose the integration of the emulator within an ARINC-653 platform to allow the development of real-time Ada applications. Finally, a performance evaluation has been done in order to show the usability of the emulator.
This work has been funded in part by the Spanish Government and FEDER funds under grant number TIN2011-28567-C03-02 (HI-PARTES).
