Operating System Abstraction Layer (OSAL)This viewgraph presentation reviews the concept of the Operating System Abstraction Layer (OSAL) and its benefits.

The benefits of OSAL are that it removes dependencies from any one operating system, promotes portable, reusable flight software. It allows for Core Flight software (FSW) to be built for multiple processors and operating systems. The presentation discusses the functionality, the various OSAL releases, and describes the specifications.
