November 10, 2010 – Objective Interface Systems announced that its ORBexpress supports LynuxWorks LynxOS-SE on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor. The Cortex-A8 is the most power-efficient processor ever developed by ARM with extremely high performance.ORBexpress provides a high-performance communication infrastructure, enabling real-time and embedded devices in heterogeneous environments to communicate seamlessly. With the lightweight, high-performance combination of ORBexpress, LynxOS-SE, and the ARM Cortex-A8, developers can achieve greater performance while improving size, weight, and power (SWAP).
Developers will be able to develop very small form factor devices, like software defined radios (SDR), using the smallest communications middleware on the most power efficient ARM processor with a fast, robust operating system. LynxOS-SE is based on open standards and is designed to specifically fulfill the stringent needs of multi-threaded and multi-process applications in high-performance systems. With the release of LynxOS-SE, LynuxWorks now offers a powerful combination of POSIX and ARINC 653 compliance. Open standards promote application portability, software reuse and system interoperability, and this translates into time-to-market and investment-protection benefits for developers.
