Upgrade to the Latest Wind River Studio RTOS

VxWorks®, the Wind River® Studio real-time operating system (RTOS), is the first and only RTOS in the world to support application deployment through containers.

The latest release of VxWorks includes support for OCI containers. Now you can use traditional IT-like technologies to develop and deploy intelligent edge software better and faster, without compromising determinism and performance. Find out why independent researcher VDC has named VxWorks the #1 RTOS for the edge.

Modern, Future-Proof, and Always Real-Time

VxWorks is a deterministic, priority-based preemptive RTOS with low latency and minimal jitter. It is built on an upgradable, future-proof architecture to help you rapidly respond to changing market requirements and technology advancements.

VxWorks is the only RTOS to support C++17, Boost, Rust, Python, pandas, and more, as well as an edge-optimized, OCI-compliant container engine — enabling you to use the languages, tools, and technologies you love most to innovate where it matters most.
