|
|
||
| This bundle has not been fully verified as an operational system, and is provided as a starting point vs an end product. Testing of this bundle consists of building, executing, sending setup commands and verifying receipt of telemetry. Unit testing is also run, but extensive analysis is not performed. All verification and validation per mission requirements is the responsibility of the mission (although attempts are made in the cFS Framework to provide a testing framework to facilitate the process). | ||
|
|
||
| The cFS Framework is a core subset of cFS. There are additional OSALs, PSPs, and tools as listed below available from a variety of sources. | ||
| The cFS Framework is a core subset of cFS, with an extensive ecosystem of applications and tools available throughout the community. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Distributions | ||
|
|
||
| This is the open-source version of cFS, released under an Apache 2.0 license. The open source cFS is limited to the framework and common apps, libraries, and tools, which includes and is limited to: cFE, OSAL, PSP, Command Ingest (Lab), Telemetry Output (Lab), Scheduler (Lab), Sample App, Sample Lib, Data Storage, File Manager, HouseKeeping, Health and Safety, Memory Dwell, CFDP File Transfer, CheckSum, Limit Checker, Memory Manager, Stored Command, cFS Ground System, elf2cfetbl, and tblCRCTool. Changes to the open repositories are limited to bug fixes and minor enhancements to those components. | ||
|
|
||
| A Government-use (Distro C) version of cFS with features for a full flight mission is available through a Software User Agreement. For more information about government version features or to explore partnerships, please [contact the cFS team](<mailto:[email protected]>). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Contact | ||
|
|
||
| cFS/cFE is owned and maintained by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Flight Software Systems Branch. | ||
|
|
||
| The cFS team provides training, support, and subject matter expertise to cFS users across industry and the government. New features/developments can also be done by the cFS team which has significant experience in helping flight projects implement mission-ready flight SW using cFS for various classes of missions, including human-rated (class A) missions. A support agreement may be needed. | ||

| ## Open-Source Roadmap | ||
|
|
||
| The following is a list of features and updates planned for cFS (in no particular order). Have other ideas? Want to partner with us? Please let us know at [[email protected]](<mailto:[email protected]>). | ||
|
|
||
| - "Bundler" tool to create custom bundles from known capability developed across the community (essentially an interactive catalog of apps that have been verified against a particular version of cFS) | ||
| - VxWorks 7 support, including running applications as real-time processes (RTPs) | ||
| - RTEMS 6 support | ||
| - Automated build verification execution framework for emulated targets | ||
| - Time services refactor/simplication | ||
| - Symmetric multi-processing (SMP) APIs | ||
| - Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) integration option and improvements to packet layouts for portability/consistency | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||
| See related repositories for current open issues. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Major future work | ||
|

|
|
||
| ### Other (may not make 7.0) | ||
| - Open source automated build verification execution framework for emulated targets (likely docker based) | ||
| - Deployment quality of life improvements (configuration, transition to CMake source selection vs compiler directives) | ||
| - Update OS support (VxWorks 7, RTEMS 5) | ||
| - Time services refactor | ||
| - Symmetric multi-processing APIs | ||
| - Electronic Data Sheet integration option and improvements to packet layouts for portability/consistency | ||

| ### Adding Custom Apps | ||
|
|
||
| See the [cFE Application Developer's Guide](https://github.com/nasa/cFE/blob/main/docs/cFE%20Application%20Developers%20Guide.md) for information about creating new apps. It is encouraged to use sample_app or skeleton_app as a starting point. Once the application has been created, it must be added to targets.cmake to be compiled and to the .scr file to be dynamically loaded at runtime (in a dynamically loaded environment). | ||
