HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE MUST ADAPT
The market's desire to drive down cost, power, and form factor means that next-generation ECUs are being based on high performance, heterogeneous system on chips (SoCs). At the same time, there is the need to provide the smartphone user experience demanded by consumers while provably separating internet-connected infotainment systems from critical safety applications. Enabling this type of updatable functionality without sacrificing platform integrity requires taking a modular approach to software and hardware.

AVIONICS-GRADE SAFETY
Lynx has enabled high availability, robust platforms for thirty years. The rigors placed on us in the avionics and defense market have ensured that we lock down functionality such that one process simply cannot interfere with another. In the automotive domain, our separation kernel provides the software foundation that enables customers to mix and match Linux, real-time, and proprietary software in a highly predictive way.
Software stacks are highly complex. Lynx is makes it easier for companies across the automotive value chain to access the key foundational elements on which they can build their own value-added, highly differentiated components by foregoing the traditional centralized platform stack in place of a simpler, distributed systems architecture.
PARTNERSHIP WITH ETAS
Together with Robert Bosch GmbH, Lynx and ETAS provide a safe, secure, and adaptable foundation for the ETAS RTA-VRTE platform software solution. RTA-VRTE incorporates the AUTOSAR Adaptive standard and supports the next generation of cross-domain and vehicle computer ECUs being introduced into upcoming vehicles. Under this partnership, ETAS includes the foundational processor partitioning system of LYNX MOSA.ic to its automotive software stack to significantly enhance ECU and vehicle computer security as well as safe system separation of domain controllers and vehicle computer ECUs.
Through LYNX MOSA.ic, ETAS supports the RTA-BSW AUTOSAR solution, the RTA-VRTE AUTOSAR Adaptive platform, and the ESCRYPT embedded security solution, which run within the lightweight isolated rooms. This combination forms a complete and highly adaptable software platform designed to address real time automotive use-cases requiring the highest levels of safety and security.
