VxWorks 6.8 broadens multicore support

3 February 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

Wind River has announced the immediate availability of VxWorks version 6.8, one of the embedded industry’s leading realtime operating systems (RTOS). The new release delivers improvements in multicore support and fundamental operating system features. Improved OS primitives, USB support and file system performance provide customers with increased product quality, more compatibility and improved product performance.

Version 6.8 provides increased multicore processor support for Intel Core i7 processors, ARM MPCore and Cortex A9; Freescale QorIQ P2020; Cavium 54xx, 55xx, 56xx, 57xx, 58xx; and RMI XLR, XLS, allowing customers to choose the processor that best fits their needs. It also includes symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) performance improvements and SMP core reservation, as well as asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) enhancements such as AMP spin locks, and a major upgrade to Wind River’s multi-OS inter-process communication with MIPC version 2.0.

The new release boasts a new small ARM footprint profile for creating embedded applications with very small memory requirements. It also offers significant developer tool productivity improvements, including VxWorks core dump file and analysis, and improvements to multicore and multi-OS debugging and user workflows.
