• Wind River Linux guest OS support, enabling customers to benefit from the open source ecosystem and utilize their existing Linux applications in MILS-based secure systems.


• Support for Wind River's SBC8548E evaluation board, a customizable 6U board, which enables low-cost development on a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) PowerPC-based hardware platform.


• The latest release of the Eclipse-based Wind River Workbench development suite of tools that provides developers insight into all layers of software running on VxWorks MILS Platform 2.1 and includes support for simultaneous VxWorks and Wind River Linux guest OS debugging and analysis.


• High performance and scalability from a two-level scheduling architecture with Type 1 hypervisor-based embedded virtualization.


• High Assurance Environment designed for Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 6+ user components including applications, middleware, and drivers


• Support for partner software technologies including Ada, DDS and Java.


• Optional JTAG debugging support via Wind River on-chip debugging solution.

"VxWorks MILS Platform is the foundation of information assurance (IA) systems for consolidation of applications when multiple security domains are required," said Marc Brown, vice president of marketing and strategy for VxWorks products at Wind River. "Leveraging VxWorks MILS to combine multiple systems into one platform can lead to significant cost savings and reduction in size, weight and power (SWaP) requirements. Wind River is committed to the safety and security needs of the aerospace and defense markets by evolving our VxWorks MILS Platform 2.1 to include increased functionality and additional safety-critical components with a high assurance of protection from threats."

"Wind River and Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing have collaborated to offer VxWorks MILS Platform 2.1 on Curtiss-Wright's VPX6-185 and VPX3-127 boards, which will enable our VxWorks customers to create secure applications while providing the option to integrate a Linux-based operating system," said Lynn Bamford, vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. "We believe Wind River has a unique place in the market with this new offering, demonstrating Wind River’s continued investment in high assurance security architectures."

"With our long-standing relationship with Wind River, we are pleased to be a part of the new VxWorks MILS Platform 2.1 introduction, offering the solution on our VPXtreme3 SBC310, VPXtreme6 SBC610, and PowerXtreme PPC9A boards," said Andy West, global product manager of SBC Software at GE Intelligent Platforms Embedded Systems. "With the addition of the high assurance network stack, Wind River is providing an off-the-shelf solution for connected devices requiring separation of data and applications from multiple domains, which allows our customers to develop precise applications in a secure environment."

Separately, the VxWorks MILS Platform has been accepted by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) operated by the National Security Agency (NSA) and is officially listed as "In Evaluation" for EAL6+ and High Robustness. An EAL6+, High Robustness-certified operating system is designed to be "a highly robust foundation for system services and applications in mission-critical systems," according to the U.S. Government Protection Profile for Separation Kernels in Environments Requiring High Robustness. Additionally, Wind River Linux Secure, a secure embedded Linux, is also under evaluation by NIAP to be certified to Common Criteria EAL4+, conforming to the General Purpose Operating System Protection Profile.

Availability
VxWorks MILS Platform 2.1 will be available in September 2010. Board support packages for GE Intelligent Platforms Boards will be available starting in October 2010. Additional details can be found at http://windriver.com/products/platforms/vxworks-mils.

ALAMEDA, Calif. — August 24, 2010 — Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, today announced Wind River VxWorks Cert Platform, a combination of Wind River's existing VxWorks DO-178B and IEC 61508 safety critical platforms in one product offering. The new software platform introduces support for C++ and real-time processes (RTP) providing more flexibility in programming and design and enabling improved compatibility with existing, imported or reused code.

In combining these software platforms, Wind River directly addresses increasing demand for real-time operating systems with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) safety certification evidence across multiple market segments, including aviation, industrial automation and control, transport, medical, and energy. In these market segments, government and regulatory bodies are requiring more rigorous certification methods and processes to help ensure system safety.

Wind River VxWorks Cert Platform features the following:

• Support for C++ and RTPs enable more diverse applications to be ported into a safety critical platform. The support of C++ allows object-oriented programming while RTPs provide memory-protected process programming, which improves robustness and eases system integration and testing.


• COTS certification evidence for RTCA DO-178B and IEC 61508 is packaged in a separate, sealed DVD with independent certification artifacts.


• The latest Wind River Workbench development tools suite and on-chip debugging solutions, enabling developers to utilize the latest embedded development and unit testing technologies for their safety critical projects.

"The need for safety systems are becoming more prevalent, however, customers have limited choices when choosing certified off-the-shelf solutions," said Marc Brown, vice president of marketing and strategy for VxWorks products at Wind River. "By combining our platforms, we’re making additional benefits and innovations from different safety critical markets available to each other and providing a solution that simplifies the customer's decision-making process. With new offerings such as Wind River VxWorks Cert Platform, we continue to innovate and invest in the embedded safety critical software market, to help customers overcome obstacles in getting to market with their own solutions."

"Wind River and Presagis have been working together closely to ensure strong product interoperability between the VxWorks Cert Platform and the Presagis SeaWind-178 and VAPS XT-178 products," said Robert Kopersiewich, vice president and product segment lead of embedded graphics at Presagis. "We believe C++ object-oriented tools are the future in certified avionics application development and this new release from Wind River, combined with Presagis product integration and support, will further help our shared customers meet their innovative project requirements."

"As a long-standing certification partner to Wind River, Verocel is proud to create the extensive catalog of certification evidence for global certified programs," said George Romanski, chief executive officer at Verocel. "Safety critical devices have very extensive life spans, and customers are looking for long-term partners like Wind River. Wind River's advancements and investment in COTS certification programs speak volumes about their continued commitment to the safety critical market."

Availability
Wind River VxWorks Cert Platform is available now to customers worldwide. As part of combining its VxWorks DO-178B Platform and VxWorks 61508 Platform, Wind River will no longer offer these separate, standalone platforms.
