We've gathered together our most valuable tools that will simplify the design of new ARINC 818 systems.
ICD Template: Great River Technology went through the ARINC 818 specification and pulled out all the parameters used to customize an ARINC 818 implementation. The way to ensure interoperability between ARINC 818 equipment is to use a common ICD.
ICD Template Examples: Great River Technology has produced ICD examples for common video resolutions such as 1024x768 (XGA), 1280x1024 (SXGA), and 1400x1050 (SXGA+)
ARINC 818 timing calculator: An Excel spread sheet that helps determine the timing parameters you need to fill out an ICD, includes video line and frame timing, division of video lines into ARINC 818 packets, packet spacing and more.
ARINC 818 Implementer's Guide: A 33-page guide for engineers looking to implement ARINC 818 into an FPGA, it provides an introduction to the protocol, information on FPGAs and SerDes, a discussion of timing classes. It discusses how to structure and sequence data to implement an ARINC 818 transmitter.
ARINC 818 IP Core Evaluation: GRT offers a free 90 day evaluation of our ARINC 818 IP Core. The core is available as a ModelSim simulation model, or as hardware version targeted at Altera or Xilinx FPGAs. |
