VLX for Embedded Systems

VirtualLogix™ VLX for Embedded Systems is a customizable solution for embedded products where security, performance, power consumption, or cost is crucial. Integrating VLX Real-Time Virtualization™ technology, VLX Embedded enables the simultaneous execution of multiple operating systems (OS) on performance-critical, small footprint, single and multicore processor platforms.

 

VLX for Embedded Systems maintains the determinism and high-performance that a Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) requires, even when a specific platform’s hardware resource is shared with a general purpose OS such as Linux. This combination of performance with multi-OS support on consolidated hardware allows system designers to implement new complex embedded systems more easily while lowering bill of materials and operating costs.

 

VLX for Embedded Systems supports the following processor architectures: ARM, x86, Power and TI C64x+ DSP.

Benefits

  • RTOS and General Purpose OS instances run in their own OS partition
  • OS partitions securely isolated from each other communicate through secure channels
  • Real-time performance guarantees
  • Hardware resources dedicated or shared between several OS partitions with QoS guarantees
  • Critical and legacy tasks co-exist with General Purpose OS applications and native device drivers
