ARINC 653 Insights

What is ARINC 653?

ARINC 653 is a real-time operating system (RTOS) standard for partitioned operating systems. It's commonly used in safety-critical embedded systems, particularly in avionics, to provide temporal and spatial partitioning. This ensures that if one partition fails, it will not affect the operation of other partitions, enhancing system reliability and safety.
