It's almost like I asked you to give me that question. :)

In September, Deos/RTEMS was verified to meet FACE conformance and given a
conformance certificate from the FACE Consortium. The combination meets the
FACE Safety Base profile for FACE Technical Standard Edition 3.0. Safety
Base requires that the environment provide both ARINC 653 and a subset of
POSIX services. Deos provides the ARINC 653 environment and a
paravirtualized RTEMS provides the POSIX APIs. The conformance certificate
was done for the PowerPC. This was a joint effort between OAR and DDC-I
with DDC-I being the customer facing side of the partnership for this
product.

The version was off the git master and a few months old. We are in the
process of updating to the git master and conforming an updated version for
PowerPC, ARM, and x86. It already supports all three architectures, we just
didn't do the conformance process on all three in that first pass.

Deos has DO-178 Level A certification. RTEMS does not yet have
certification but hopefully that will change based on user requests and
funding.

I must say that I am quite proud of us having achieved this. The process of
doing this has improved the RTEMS POSIX support. All of the cross-platform
improvements are upstream.

I don't want this to be more of a marketing spiel than needed on the Users
list so you can email privately or call me.  I am happy to answer technical
questions about the integration. The environments integrated nicely IMO.

There are a couple of papers that were presented at FACE TIMs while we were
working and I can pass them along as well as the marketing contact
information.
