Overview Avionics BusBox 1000
Ballard's Avionics BusBox 1000 Series is a small lightweight embedded computer with built-in interfaces for standard peripherals and for various avionics databuses. Under the direction of its application specific software, the AB1000 can autonomously perform tasks that involve receiving information from some interfaces and processing and mapping the information into other interfaces.
Architecture
At the heart of the AB1000 Series is a user programmable PowerPC® processor, which controls the various standard (serial, Ethernet, and USB) and avionics databus (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429/708, etc.) interfaces. The high level of functionality implemented in the hardware interface circuitry gives the software application full use of the PowerPC processor.
Additional Features
The USB host port allows for the connection of a wide variety of devices. For example, a USB mass storage device could be used for transferring data to/from the AB1000 Series, or an 802.11 wireless device could be attached as an alternative to the wired Ethernet port. Also included are serial ports and avionics level discrete I/O which can be used to interface with other devices. Applications FLEXIBILITY FOR A VARIETY OF APPLICIATIONS
The flexibility of the Avionics BusBox 1000 Series lends itself to many different applications. As a protocol converter, the Avionics BusBox 1000 Series can aid in the integration of commercial and military avionics. For example, acting as a MIL-STD-1553 Bus Monitor and an ARINC 429 transmitter, the Avionics BusBox 1000 Series could make navigation data from a military system available to a commercial device. The Ethernet port may be used in a variety of applications including an Ethernet-to-avionics bridge, an avionics data server, or a remote control/monitoring interface for avionics devices. Aircraft data can be monitored and recorded to the on-board CompactFlash disk. This is useful in maintenance applications where flight data can subsequently be analyzed to detect potential problems.

Software PowerPC
Programs for the PowerPC processor are developed on a host computer and then uploaded to the Avionics BusBox 1000 Series where they can be saved in non-volatile Flash memory. Applications can then boot from the Flash memory and run without host intervention.
CoPilot
The easiest way to use your Avionics BusBox 1000 is with CoPilot, Ballard's Windows-based software. CoPilot is an intuitive, interactive program that simplifies the simulation and testing of avionics systems. CoPilot auto-detection, engineering units conversion, and other features increase user productivity. CoPilot may be purchased as part of an AB1000 system or separately. |  |
Software Development Kit
A Software Development Kit (SDK) allows users to develop their applications using the included BTIDriver® API. All Omni-Bus products run Ballard's universal BTIDriver API, so applications developed for one platform or product can be easily ported to another. Although the Avionics BusBox 1000 Series can be easily configured and run with only a few API calls, the comprehensive library includes a broad range of functions for specialized needs.
Also included with the SDK are many example programs and the development tools for compiling applications to run on the embedded PowerPC processor.
