FPGA IP core graphics accelerator with BuiltSAFE™

Mercury’s FPGA IP Core Graphics Accelerator is an innovative, comprehensive solution for avionics applications requiring a higher level of performance than the GS MultiCore Renderer. This hybrid solution eliminates the necessity of introducing a GPU and offers FPGA IP core graphics acceleration for “bottleneck” operations. It provides industry-leading rasterization and screen control functionality, along with the DO-254 evidence required for use within DAL-A applications. Mercury influences industry standard-setting bodies through the development of graphics and portability specifications, leveraging vendor partnerships to accommodate changes in embedded computing technologies during product life-cycles. Close ties with hardware partners and RTOS vendors allow for accommodation of next-generation product lines before market introduction. The safety-certifiable solutions are delivered with proven DAL artifacts that streamline the certification process and reduce malfunction risk for airborne applications. This includes DO-254 / DO-178 design assurance checklists, guided assessments, and hardware and software artifacts to accelerate subsystem development and streamline safety-critical system development and certification.
