Avionics software is embedded software with legally mandated safety and reliability concerns used in avionics. These software are highly used in the aviation industry, where there is high need of accuracy and safety, any mishandling can lead to huge destructive effects.
Avionic software and conventional embedded software differ the development process as in avionic software development is required by law and is optimized for safety whereas other software may not be too much dependent in law. Low-level programming knowledge of programming (writing driver code, interacting with devices , etc.) and software are very useful for learning avionics software.
In avionics software actual standards are often far more detailed and they are even more rigorous than commercial standards and other embedded systems, usually described with hundreds of pages in documents. It mainly runs on a real time operating system.
