MATLAB: How to use MathWorks tools to apply Model-Based Design for ARP-4754 or DO-178 applications

Question

I am looking to apply Model-Based Design to develop software for use in projects that require code certification as defined in ARP-4754 and/or DO-178 standards.

I am looking for an example that outlines the steps I could take to apply Model-Based Design to generate, verify and validate safety critical software.

You can find information regarding MathWorks support for DO-178 at the following link:

https://www.mathworks.com/solutions/aerospace-defense/standards/do-178.html

For R2009a+, MathWorks introduced DO Qualification Kit (for DO-178) product. Please visit the product page shown below or obtain a trial for details on MathWorks support of this standard.

For releases prior to R2009a+, a detailed demo of applying Model-Based Design to projects that require compliance with ARP-4754 and DO-178BC standards is available here:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/41490-autopilot-demo-for-arp4754a--do-178c-and-do-331

Note that the files and models in the demos are tested on the version of MATLAB, Simulink and Real-Time Workshop mentioned. It is important to download the appropriate version based on the release of MATLAB, Simulink and Real-Time Workshop installed on your machine.

Please contact Bill Potter (<mailto:Bill.Potter@mathworks.com Bill.Potter@mathworks.com>) or MathWorks Technical Support if you have difficulty in following the steps outlined in the demo, or require further information.
