LynxOS-178: Based on Open Standards
LynxOS-178 is a COTS RTOS supporting x86, Arm, and PowerPC platforms. It is based on open standards and is designed specifically to fulfill the stringent needs of multithread and multiprocess applications in safety-critical real-time systems, providing security and safety through strict, hardware-enforced isolation between real-time processes, applications, and the RTOS kernel services and drivers.
BUSINESS BENEFITS
- Most cost- and time-effective path to create certifiable mission critical systems from Linux development
- Lowest certification costs for Arm, PowerPC, and x86 multicore architectures
- Reduced vendor lock-in
DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS
- Compatible with ARINC, FACE, and POSIX standards
- Certified multiple times to DO-178 DAL A, including IPv6 networking stack
- Awarded Reusable Software Component (RSC) certificate from the FAA for reusability across projects
LOWER PROJECT RISKS AND INCREASE SAFETY
Many companies are using Linux-based PCs to create their application software for embedded systems. LynxOS-178 has the strongest alignment to the POSIX APIs (PSE 53/54 profiles supported) across all suppliers of real-time operating systems (RTOS), which simplifies the migration of real-time and/or safety certifiable software to an RTOS.
LynxOS-178 supports x86, Arm, and PowerPC multicore processors. This RTOS is available as part of the LYNX MOSA.ic software framework or available to run directly on hardware.

CERTIFIED FACE CONFORMANT
The US Government is specifying use of open standards in order to reduce vendor lock-in. The MOSA standard specifies use of the FACE standard. Lynx supports v3.1, the latest version of the FACE standard.
