Lynx Ships First Real-Time POSIX OS for PowerPC Processor
Operating system supports 601/603/604 CPUs, boosts file system performance, provides ANSI compliance, enhances X server graphics

LOS GATOS, Calif.—March 20, 1995—Lynx Real-Time Systems, Inc. the dominant supplier of open, real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced LynxOS version 2.3, the first POSIX RTOS supporting embedded applications of the PowerPC™ 601, 603 and 604 RISC processors.

Lynx is first to market with PowerPC POSIX support due to the company's early customer access initiative which allowed LynxOS users to begin using the PowerPC months before it was supported by other RTOS vendors. LynxOS version 2.3 is also available for X86, 68K and microSPARC™ CPU architectures. Lynx announced support for the PowerPC in June 1994 and has been shipping custom PowerPC support software since last July.

"This is a version change worthy of recognition," said Inder Singh, president and CEO. "We've substantially raised the bar by responding to customer demand and have made LynxOS even more valuable and easy to use for cutting edge embedded applications."

New key features and benefits

Version 2.3 offers many enhancements. The most significant are:

Availability

LynxOS 2.3 will be available for all currently supported platforms in Q2 1995.
