LynxOS-178: Based on Open Standards

LynxOS-178 is a commercial off the shelf (COTS) RTOS supporting x86, Arm, and PowerPC platforms. It is based on open standards and is designed specifically to fulfill the stringent needs of multithreaded and multiprocess applications in safety-critical real-time systems, providing security and safety through strict, hardware-enforced isolation between real-time processes, applications, and the RTOS kernel services and drivers.

MORE BENEFITS

LOWER PROJECT RISKS AND INCREASE SAFETY

Many companies are using Linux-based PCs to create their application software for embedded systems. LynxOS-178 has the strongest alignment to the POSIX APIs (PSE 53/54 profiles supported) across all suppliers of real-time operating systems (RTOS), which simplifies the migration of real-time and/or safety certifiable software to an RTOS.

LynxOS-178 supports x86, Arm, and PowerPC multicore processors. This RTOS is available as part of the LYNX MOSA.ic software framework or available to run directly on hardware.

LynxOS-178 is specifically designed to fulfill the stringent needs of multi-thread and multi-process applications in mission critical systems, providing security and safety through strict, hardware-enforced isolation between applications. This operating system has been certified multiple times to DO-178 DAL A. LynxOS-178 has been deployed in certified commercial and military avionics systems that have flown hundreds of millions of hours.
