Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for using field-loadable input/output (I/O) tables. An avionics hardware unit may include one or more processors. An operational software of the avionics hardware unit may perform a plurality of operations for processing avionics data in safety or data-integrity driven applications. An I/O table may be loaded onto the avionics hardware. The I/O table may be selected from a plurality of I/O tables loadable onto the avionics hardware for operation with the operational software. The selected I/O table may include a configuration of rules. The rules may be assigned according to the configuration to each of the plurality of operations to configure the behavior of the respective operations for processing the avionics data. The configuration may be different from that of others of the plurality of I/O tables in configuring the plurality of operations of the operational software.
