Wind River®, a world leader in delivering software for
intelligent connected systems, has released updates to VxWorks®
653, which include support for multi-core silicon and robust
partitioning for applications that enable multilevel RTCA DO-178C
certification. Additionally, Wind River has announced support for
the Safety Base Profile of Future Airborne Capability Environment
(FACE™) 2.1 Technical Standard.
VxWorks 653 3.0 Multi-core Edition is an ARINC 653-compliant
operating environment developed specifically to utilize the
advantages of multi-core silicon architectures to provide greater
flexibility, performance, and application consolidation, under
strict ARINC 653 avionics software requirements. By utilizing
multi-core separations and partitioning, this new consolidation
platform allows customers to re-use legacy software while expanding
functionality beyond what could be done with single-core silicon
platforms.
This version of VxWorks 653 will also enable customers to
integrate multiple software applications at different levels of
safety from multiple application software suppliers on a shared
compute platform. The robust safety partitioning and
virtualization/separation capabilities of VxWorks 653—certified and
validated in mission-critical avionics systems—also make it an
optimal choice for critical industrial and transportation
solutions.
Separately, Wind River has released Wind River VxWorks 653 2.5
Platform, which supports both the ARINC 653 standard and the Safety
Base Profile of the FACE Technical Standard 2.1 from the FACE
Consortium. The FACE Technical Standard provides guidelines for
creating a common operating environment for applications across
multiple Department of Defense avionics systems. VxWorks 653
Platform supports numerous open standards and allows customers to
choose from a variety of APIs when developing their safety-critical
airborne applications.
“With the two latest versions of VxWorks 653, not only are we
enabling a shift toward adoption of multi-core silicon in the
safety-critical market, but also strengthening our commitment to
open standards and portability with support of the FACE Technical
Standard,” said Dinyar Dastoor, vice president of product
management at Wind River. “These platform updates are allowing
customers to utilize cutting-edge multi-core hardware and open
standards to increase profitability, reduce risks, and address
regulatory requirements.”
Part of the Wind River product portfolio of safe and secure
operating systems, VxWorks 653 is a COTS platform for delivering
safety-critical, integrated modular avionics (IMA) applications.
Used in over 325 programs by more than 185 customers in over 70
aircraft, VxWorks 653 is the platform of choice for a wide range of
commercial, military, and space safety- and mission-critical
programs, both manned and unmanned, around the globe. These include
Airbus and Boeing military and commercial aircraft like the Airbus
A400M and Boeing 787.
Wind River and Vector Software will be hosting a webcast,
titled, “FAA Regulatory Guidance for Multi-core Usage in Certified
Avionics Systems,” on March 3. For more information and to register
