Software Data Loader
(SDL) Subcommittee
Last Update:
July 25, 2008
Chairman - Ted Patmore, Delta Air Lines
APIM: 05-007 Software Data Loading Over CAN Bus
Goal: The objective is to develop standards for software data loading. This includes development of a high-speed data loader with high-density storage media. Standards for file format, media type, part numbering and terminology will be developed in a way that can be used for various data loading devices.
Scope: This subcommittee prepares documents for the interfaces between the software data loader and the target hardware. It also prepares standard formats for loadable software airplane parts so that all of the requirements of configuration managment of LSAPs may be accomplished.
Benefit: The work of this subcommittee allows common tools to be used for the transfer of LSAPs from the airline to the target hardware, whether it is installed onboard the aircraft or on the test bench.

Abstract:
This TAB was synthesized from a number of email threads exchanged in late 2005. ARINC Report 615A: Software Data Loader Using Ethernet Interface covers software data loading over Ethernet. However, certain basic assumptions were made about the network over which the SDL protocol would operate. this TAB highlights those assumptions and described some of the premises behind them and some considerations for the future. |

Summary:
ARINC Report 665, Loadable Software Standards, Section 4.0 defines the use of Cyclic Redundancy Codes (CRC), also known as Cyclic Redundancy Checks.
ARINC Report 665-3, Section 4.2.9, CRC Examples refers to Appendix K, which provides guidance on the calculation of loadable software part CRCs. Appendix K provides an orientation to, instructions for and examples of Loadable Software CRCs and references sample files and corresponding CRCs provided in electronic code formats in this Technical Application Bulletin (TAB). |
