I can't, but others here (such as Dewi Daniels) maybe can. The relevant standards are RTCA DO-178C 
and RTCA DO-333. They of course cost money, but NASA has oodles of tech reports on the topic.There 
are NASA experts on this list who could say more.

I don't. But I am pretty sure there are others here who do. Please tell!
