SRS is a for-profit corporation whose income comes from lawsuits, so their reports/investigations are tainted by their financial incentive to overstate the significance of their findings.

For control systems like avionics it either passes the suite of tests for certification, or it doesn't. Whether a human could write code that uses less memory is simply not important. In the event the autocode isn't performant e

No I'm not joking at all. The Autocode feature generates code that has high fidelity to the model in simulink, and is immensely more reliable than a human. It is impossible for a simulink model to accidentally type `i > 0` when the

Depends on the company in my experience. I've seen some suppliers that basically just wire up the diagram in Matlab/simulink and hit Autocode. No humans actually touch the C that comes out. Honestly I think that's probably

I'd offer in counterargument that Linux is for getting things done, whereas BSD seems to be largely for people who view the OS itself as the hobby. I have zero interest in tinkering with my operating system. I mostly want it to just g

It comes down to voting algorithms and memory persistence. Sometimes there is a threshold before data are "voted out". I don't work on the A320 but solar radiation is a well-known issue in avionics, generally speaking. Edit:

It's actually pretty shocking how poorly and sluggish OpenBSD performs, and it's not meaningfully more secure than a properly-configured Linux or freebsd box. I'm honestly not sure what its use case is in 2025, beyond as a re
