ALAMEDA, Calif. – Wind River Systems Inc. in Alameda, Calif., is introducing the Wind River Helix Virtualization Platform, which combines the company's commercial real-time operating system (RTOS) and embedded Linux distribution into a software-development system for deployed systems that involve edge computing.
This enables other operating systems to run unmodified within the same framework, providing a software development environment across the Wind River portfolio.
Wind River Helix means legacy software can remain unchanged while running alongside applications, and it provides a consistent, scalable and agile platform for edge devices.
Helix addresses critical infrastructure development needs, from dynamic environments without certification requirements, to regulated static applications such as in avionics and industrial, as well as systems requiring the mixing of safety-certified applications with non-certified ones, such as in automotive.
The offering comprises VxWorks along with its virtualization technology, integrated with Wind River Linux and Wind River Simics for system simulation. It meets DO-178C, IEC 61508, and ISO 26262 safety standards, and is operating system-agnostic for deployed systems.
It also provides multi-core hardware support and availability on Arm, Intel, NXP, and Xilinx silicon platforms that enable 32- and 64-bit guest operating systems.
Helix provides time and space partitioning; multi-operating system capabilities; and consolidation of several applications into one platform.
