Abstract
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.
Claims21
A method for executing instructions with an uncontrolled data processing device (UDPD) to determine whether a safety critical application (SCA) is installed properly on the UDPD:
- executing instructions with an UDPD;
- generating an image of an installed SCA component on the UDPD;
- retrieving a reference installation data stored in memory of the UDPD;
- comparing the generated image of the installed SCA component with the retrieved reference installation data;
- and
- determining whether the SCA is installed properly on the UDPD based on the comparing.
