LynxSecure Real-time Applications and Device Driver Programming WorkshopFive days of real-time application programming and device-driver training

PRINTABLE PDF BROCHURE (540 kB)

Responding to industry demand, this course features five days of hands-on labs, programming applications, and device-driver development for LynxSecure real-time systems.

The LynxSecure separation kernel provides a trusted foundation for high-assurance systems. Low-, medium- and high-assurance applications can run concurrently on a single platform, using multiple virtualized operating systems. This architecture provides near-native performance for the guest OS and superior security, since LynxSecure has complete control of the hardware.
