Features

Key features and functionality include the following:

• VxWorks RTOS: The industry's leading embedded operating system is ideally suited for devices requiring a proven, highly scalable, hard real-time, deterministic run-time environment. The platform includes full 64-bit processing support, comprehensive multi-core support (both AMP and SMP), and a networking stack that features Wind River Advanced Networking Technologies, enhanced memory protection, error management, and POSIX compliance. The latest edition is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of VxWorks, allowing customers to leverage existing and legacy software assets.
• Advanced industrial connectivity: The platform provides drivers and protocols for connected devices on the factory floor, wireless peripherals, and other devices within the network infrastructure. Support includes CAN, DCOM, OPC, USB, Wi-Fi, and IPv4/IPv6. Partner integrations are available for other connectivity protocols.
• Networking, wireless, and security support: The platform integrates Wind River Advanced Networking Technologies, an extensive portfolio of networking and security protocols to protect network data. This portfolio provides implementations of IPsec and IKE, firewall and NAT, RADIUS client, 802.11i wireless security, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and digital certificates. It also provides support for wireless and mobility applications. These protocols can be used in any combination to provide secure applications that require access control, authentication, or privacy.
• Wind River Workbench: An integrated development suite based on an Eclipse framework, Workbench provides deep capabilities that support the entire development life cycle, from hardware bring-up to product test and manufacture, and enables standardization on one common development suite across the enterprise. Workbench is extensible and scalable, allowing suppliers to meet specific project needs, and it can seamlessly integrate hundreds of third-party plug-ins.
• Extensive partner technologies: To ensure a complete range of integrated technologies, Wind River has established the embedded software industry's widest-ranging partner ecosystem, joining forces with leading hardware and software providers to address such technologies as speech recognition and text-to-speech, Java, advanced graphics capabilities, Bluetooth, and IEEE 1394.

Affiliations

At Wind River, we applaud the move toward open industry standards. Because we believe the world is changing too fast to lock our customers into proprietary technologies, we've built our DSO solution on open standards, expertly integrated and intelligently applied.

Wind River does not just embrace open standards, we're taking the lead in establishing them. Driving the Device Software Development Platform project at the Eclipse Foundation; providing TIPC support for messaging on the backplane between different operating systems and leading the way on Carrier Grade Linux with OSDL; participating in AUTOSAR – these are just a few examples of our commitment to evolving standards.

Eclipse Foundation
Eclipse is an open platform for tool integration built by an open community of tool providers. Operating under an open-source paradigm with a common public license that provides royalty-free source code and worldwide redistribution rights, the Eclipse platform enables tool developers to have ultimate flexibility and control over their software technology.

ODVA
ODVA is an organization that supports network technologies built on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™): DeviceNet™, EtherNet/IP™, CIP Sync™, and CIP Safety™.

OPC Foundation
The OPC Foundation is dedicated to ensuring interoperability in automation by creating and maintaining open specifications that standardize the communication of acquired process data, alarm and event records, historical data, and batch data to multi-vendor enterprise systems and between production devices.

TÜV Rheinland Group
TÜV Rheinland Group documents the safety and quality of new and existing products, systems, and services on the basis of particular safety standards, such as IEC61508.
