Methods and articles of manufacture for hosting a safety critical application on an uncontrolled data processing device

摘要

Methods and articles of manufacture for hosting a safety critical application on an uncontrolled data processing device are provided. Various combinations of installation, functional, host integrity, coexistence, interoperability, power management, and environment checks are performed at various times to determine if the safety critical application operates properly on the device. The operation of the SCA on the UDPD may be controlled accordingly.

主权项

1. A method for executing instructions with an uncontrolled data processing device (UDPD) to determine whether a safety critical application (SCA) is functioning properly on the UDPD, the method comprising:
executing instructions with the UDPD to establish a communication link between the UDPD and an external device; retrieving a reference communication data stored in memory of the UDPD; comparing, with the UDPD, a result of the communication link with the retrieved reference communication data; and determining, with the UDPD, whether the communication link is properly established.
