Wind River VxWorks RTOS

Serious Real-Time Performance

At Wind River®, we take pride in the innovations that have made VxWorks® the No. 1 real-time operating system (RTOS) in the world, and we're committed to continued excellence in each of our core strength areas:

Footprint: VxWorks has a completely configurable and tunable small memory footprint for today’s memory-constrained systems. You control how much of the operating system you need.
Real-time performance: Capable of dealing with the most demanding time constraints, VxWorks is a high-performance RTOS tuned for both determinism and responsiveness.
Reliability: A high-reliability RTOS, VxWorks provides certification evidence required by strict safety and security standards. Even for non-safety-critical systems, VxWorks is counted on to run forever, error-free.
Scalability: An indispensable RTOS foundation for very small-scale devices, large-scale networking systems, and everything in between, VxWorks is the first RTOS to provide full 64-bit processing to support the ever-growing data requirements for embedded real-time systems. VxWorks is scalable in terms of memory footprint and functionality; our modular design allows you to tune it to the exact needs of your project's footprint and processing power requirements.
State-of-the-art memory protection: Memory management unit (MMU)–based memory protection increases reliability. VxWorks is process-based, providing user-mode application execution in addition to its traditional kernel-mode execution.
Multi-core leadership: The VxWorks SMP- and AMP-enabled platforms allow developers to deliver higher-performance multi-core-powered products with reduced risk and development investment.
Extensive connectivity: VxWorks delivers support of industry-leading connectivity standards and protocols out of the box, with proven high performance networking support, including offload acceleration.
Backward compatibility: VxWorks 6.x is designed to ease migration from VxWorks 5.5. To that end, the kernel of VxWorks 6.x supports the VxWorks 5.5 kernel operating environment. Most board support packages (BSPs), drivers, and kernel applications developed for or ported to VxWorks 5.5 will run in the VxWorks 6.x kernel.

Wind River Workbench development environment: Workbench offers best-in-class development, debug, and analysis tools for VxWorks deployment and development. System analysis tools provide unique in-depth information about system behavior as a complement to the advanced debugging tools available in Workbench. VxWorks simulation, system configuration, and deployment tools are included. Optional extras such as Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging complement the development suite.
