LynuxOS RTOS now supports ARM, XScale processor architectures

Nov 18, 2002 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 4 views

San Jose, CA — (press release excerpt) — LynuxWorks today announced the availability of its LynxOS v4 real-time operating system (RTOS) for the ARM architecture. The solution delivers for the first time a Linux-compatible RTOS for the ARMv4T and ARMv5TE architecture-compliant processors, as well as unparalleled hard real-time response, reliability, and determinism.

LynxOS v4 provides application binary interface (ABI) compatibility to Linux (see whitepaper), allowing users to run Linux applications unmodified under LynxOS or augment real-time applications on LynxOS with applications from Linux, eliminating the need to build applications from scratch. Developers reap the benefits associated with using a Linux platform, including shortened development times and cost savings for new embedded products.

The first release of LynxOS for the ARM architecture will be on the Intel IQ80310 I/O processor based on the Intel XScale technology, targeting storage area networking (SAN), wireless communications, and home networking markets.
