A significant percentage of the complexity in aircraft systems is handled at software level, mainly by embedded systems. Historically, embedded software for engine control systems has been written as a monolithic set of code to acquire, manage and diagnose the behaviour of on-board sensors. This type of design made the software difficult to maintain, reuse and port to different aircraft engine topologies. In recent years, the concept of configurable software has become fundamental in avionics to provide adaptable and flexible solutions to the constantly evolving sensors world. In this study, based on an idea of Avio Aero, a GE Aerospace company, the use of this approach is extended for the development of a software capable of designing and creating highly configurable and interchangeable software components for the management of airborne system sensors.
