Wind River, a well-known brand in delivering software for “intelligent connected” systems, has said it had introduced a virtualisation profile for the next generation version of its market-leading VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS).
The Profile for VxWorks extends the scalability capabilities of the VxWorks 7 Core Platform by integrating a real-time embedded, Type 1 hypervisor into the core of the RTOS.
Through embedded virtualisation, Virtualisation Profile allows VxWorks customers to consolidate multiple workloads on a single processor. It provides robust, safe and secure partitioning across all market segments, from automation control to medical scanners to avionics control systems — critical in today’s era of the Internet of Things (IoT). OS-agnostic, the profile allows combinations of VxWorks, Linux, Windows and other operating systems to share the memory and cores of a multi-core processor or system-on-chip (SoC).
Wind River is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation and has been pioneering computing inside embedded devices since 1981, and its technology is found in nearly 2 billion products.
