LYNX MOSA.ic™ for Avionics

Provides Foundation for Collins Aerospace Perigon™ Computer

Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies business, has selected the LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics framework as the foundation for its next-generation Perigon flight control and vehicle management computer. Perigon will have the ability to provide 20 times the processing power of Collins’ existing flight control computers, thousands of which are currently in service on a multitude of platforms worldwide.

Industry products

The following are sets of Lynx software packages, 3^rd party technologies, and associated tools which Lynx has proven to reliably work together for rapidly building robust avionics, industrial, and unmanned systems.

A simpler path to CAST-32A certification, LYNX MOSA.ic™ for Avionics provides a native POSIX DO-178C certified RTOS, Buildroot Linux, and bare metal application environments for efficiently building and deploying robust avionics systems.

Build and deploy deterministic industrial software systems by combining rich OSes (Windows, Linux), RTOSes (FreeRTOS, Azure) and system integrations (Azure IoT Edge, Kubernetes) on a provably secure foundation.

A complete development framework for combining bare metal crypto modules; the versatility of Linux; and a native POSIX, hard real-time operating system for the rapid development and deployment of unmanned systems.

TECHNOLOGIES

LynxSecure is a separation kernel hypervisor designed to satisfy real-time, high assurance computing requirements for Arm, PowerPC and x86 platforms.

LYNX MOSA.ic is a software framework that shrinks the development cycle for the creation, certification and deployment of complex multi-core safety or security systems.

LynxOS-178 is a native POSIX^® hard real-time partitioning operating system developed and certified to FAA DO-178B/C DAL A safety standards.

Testimonials

With many suppliers focused on the security of these systems, Lynx appears to be one of the few worrying about high reliability of platforms over 10+ year product lifecycles.

Chris Rommel | VDC Research

Executive Vice President

We are excited that both NXP and Arm architectures are now supported within the LYNX MOSA.ic framework. It offers an exceptional technology for managing the complexity associated with multicores, reducing the design and certification time for safety critical systems based on NXP Layerscape and QorIQ SoCs.

Geoff Waters | NXP Semiconductors

Senior Principal Engineer, Chairman for Multicore for Avionics Working Group

The inclusion of FreeRTOS as a guest of the LynxSecure separation kernel hypervisor will give developers an easy and low cost path to development and integration of complex systems, with a path to a fully safety-certifiable solution.
