Embedded System Applications Expertise in embedded systems markets

LynuxWorks™ has quick-to-market embedded-system solutions for demanding applications in markets such as industrial automation and process control, military and aerospace, consumer devices and communications.

Military and aerospace embedded software applications

AN/USQ-78A and AN/USQ-78B Display Control Units

From in-orbit embedded systems to jumbo jets to vital battlefield networks, designers of mission-critical aerospace and defense systems requiring real-time performance, scalability, and high-availability facilities consistently turn to the LynxOS® RTOS and the LynxOS-178 RTOS for software certification to DO-178B.

Rich in system resources and networking services, LynxOS provides an off-the-shelf software platform with hard real-time response backed by powerful distributed computing (CORBA), high reliability, software certification, and long-term support options.

The LynxOS-178 RTOS for software certification, based on the RTCA DO-178B standard, assists developers in gaining certification for their mission- and safety-critical systems. Real-time systems programmers get a boost with LynuxWorks' DO-178B RTOS training courses.

LynxOS-178 is the first DO-178B and EUROCAE/ED-12B certifiable, POSIX®-compatible RTOS solution.

Medical electronics technology

With the introduction of the LynxSecure separation kernel and embedded hypervisor, medical devices can now have the best of both worlds, with hard real-time applications running alongside commercial desktop operating systems on the same industry-standard Intel® processors.

The separation kernel offers both safety and security partitioning for applications. The embedded hypervisor functionality allows "guest" operating systems and their applications to run in their own partitions.

Communications applications

Jetstream's Voice-over Broadband (VoBB)

"Five-nines" availability, CompactPCI hot swap support, and hard real-time response—LynxOS delivers on these key requirements and more for today's carrier-class systems. Scalable kernel configurations, distributed computing capabilities, integrated communications stacks, and fault-management facilities make LynxOS the ideal choice for companies looking for a single operating system for all embedded telecommunications applications—from complex central controllers to simple line/trunk cards.

LynuxWorks JumpStart for Communications package enables OEMs to rapidly develop mission-critical communications equipment, with pre-integrated, state-of-the-art, data networking and porting software components—including source code for easy customization.

The Lynx Certifiable Stack (LCS) is a secure TCP/IP protocol stack designed especially for applications where standards certification is required.

Electronics applications and consumer devices

GE/Marquette Solar 9500 Patient Monitor

As the number of powerful embedded processors in consumer devices continues to rise, the BlueCat® Linux® operating system provides a highly reliable and royalty-free option for systems designers.

And as the wireless appliance revolution rolls on, web-enabled navigation systems, radios, personal communication devices, phones and PDAs all benefit from the cost-effective dependability, proven stability and full product life-cycle support opportunities associated with BlueCat embedded Linux. BlueCat has teamed up with industry leaders to make it easier to build Linux mobile phones with Java integration.

For makers of low-cost consumer electronic devices who wish to integrate the LynxOS real-time operating system into their products, we offer special MSRP-based pricing to reduce royalty fees to a negligible portion of the device's MSRP.

Industrial automation and process control software

Acutrol 3000 Multi-axis Digital Servo Controller

Designers of industrial and process control systems know from experience that LynuxWorks operating systems provide the security and reliability that their industrial applications require.

From ISO 9001 certification to fault-tolerance, POSIX conformance, secure partitioning and high availability, we've got it all. Take advantage of our two decades of experience.
