F' GDS application for non F' flight software or no flight software at all

[mashtijou]

Please help me find out: I like to know if F’ GDS can be used for integration and testing software of any flight Instrument (like a radiometer, radar, spectrometer, etc..) that do not use F’ for their flight software environment and also in some cases the flight instrument may not even have any flight software (instead of flight software it will have FPGA based command/control and telemetry). Will any of the February 2026 workshops help me understand how to develop additional software on F’ GDS to test any of flight Instruments (like radio meters, radars, spectrometers, etc..) while controlling, monitoring, and collecting telemetry and science data from several test equipment and data acquisition unit?

I read through a lot of the online F’ GDS documentation but still not sure how to add to baseline GDS software to communicate with and control a whole bunch of test equipment while sending commands and receive telemetry from non F’ based flight software that runs on an Instrument (like a radiometer, radar, spectrometer, etc..) using F’ GDS. Please advise.
