Abstract:In order to meet the demand of communication reliability and real-time for airship in actual flight process, the airship model computer of semi-physical simulation system uses an embedded real-time system Xpc which uses PC as a platform, flight control computer uses an embedded real-time system VxWork which uses PowerPC as a platform,through the ARINC429 protocol for data communications.In hardware, PowerPC accesses and controls PCI devices through the bridge chip; in software, in accordance with written procedures of PCI device drivers in Xpc system and vxWork system,it analyzed the key technical points of the xPC memory drive frame and the vxBus drive frame, designed the communication card driver ARINC429 of airship computer model Xpc and flight control computer Vxwork. Through practical application, it confirmed the development of the ARINC429 driver meet the reliability and real-time of data communications for airship semi-physical simulation platform.
