Product Description

Embedded OpenGL Display Drivers -
Embedded OpenGL Display Drivers - ALT Software provides high performance OpenGL drivers for embedded computing platforms that employ hardware accelerated graphics. These 2D/3D OpenGL drivers are currently used in military aircraft, automotive telematics systems, industrial controls, and medical devices. They are suitable for use in any embedded computing environment that employs hardware accelerated graphics to drive 3D graphics and to enhance the quality of 2D graphics output. Our royalty-free drivers support the INTEGRITY RTOS on a variety of bus, CPU, and graphics processor configurations. ALT Software also offers system integration services, comprehensive technical support, and custom configuration support to assist clients with integrating the driver and adding functionality when required. ALT’s configuration-specific OpenGL drivers exceed the performance of many commercial OpenGL drivers by at least 25% and in some cases by over 50%.

X-Server Implementations - ALT Software's general purpose graphics drivers for embedded computing devices contain Mini-X, a compact windowing API that supports the customer's choice of RTOS. This implementation enables a user to run an application with multiple Windows or to run a single Window in full screen mode. Mini-X is particularly suitable for deployment in limited memory systems for which a full X-Server implementation is impractical. ALT also provides custom implementations of an X-Server to accommodate specific customer requirements.


DO-178B Safety-Critical Display Drivers - ALT Software provides DO-178B certifiable 2D/3D OpenGL display drivers running on embedded computing platforms that employ hardware accelerated graphics and the INTEGRITY-178B RTOS. ALT’s drivers are certifiable up to Level A (safety-critical), the highest level of this FAA and JAA recognized software quality standard. Deployed primarily in commercial aircraft, these drivers are designed for use in any embedded computing system where the strictest levels of reliability are mandated by a regulatory agency, including FDA Class III “life-critical” devices. The driver’s modular architecture allows ALT to customize it for particular customer requirements, and generate additional certification artifacts on a component-by-component basis, which significantly reduces the time and costs of customization. ALT offers a variety of royalty-free product options including the driver binary, binary plus source code, diagnostic tools, and the full set of artifacts required for certification of the driver in its target environment.Click here for a Product Data Sheet (pdf).


System Level Software and Hardware Development Services - Our software development services touch many aspects of embedded computing. Some of our projects have included creating full board support packages to enable advanced video security systems, designing software for DTV systems, enabling networking functionality for wireless industrial control devices, and developing device drivers for cockpit displays in fighter jets and next-generation passenger planes. Our electronics hardware design group provides a full range of services, from design, architecture analysis and optimization, all the way to complete “from idea to prototype” software and hardware development.

Quality Assurance, Testing, and Industry Certification Services - ALT Software offers testing and industry-standard compliance certification through our Quality Assurance labs. Our QA department is comprised of two separate and redundant cross-platform labs, each equipped with the latest test applications, test plans and reports, profiling tools, and test hardware. Our QA team ensures quality in all phases of the development cycle by employing rigorous coding and architecture standards and by being involved in every phase of development, from initial design right through to the final QA testing of the finished product. Whether it's a basic networking device driver or a complex single board computing system, we use comprehensive test suites and rigorous QA methodologies to ensure that your product meets or exceeds industry certification requirements. We are active in many quality control and certification programs and keep current with the latest standards and testing procedures for 2D and 3D graphics, networking, video and audio technologies.
