MILITARY AND AEROSPACE EMBEDDED SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS: In 1998, Boeing awarded a long-term contract for the LynxOS® real-time operating system software to be used in the cabin services system aboard Boeing 777s, their newest and most technically advanced commercial jetliner. The cabin services system automates many tasks that flight attendants previously performed manually and allows easy control of lighting, boarding music, address system and cabin doors. The cabin services system has improved the display of system faults by consolidating them on one panel, rather than on individual panels above each seat. A better response time of maintenance crews servicing the aircraft has resulted. LynxOS' X and Motif subsystems handle the entire user interface. Boeing chose LynxOS for its support of numerous off-the-shelf devices and for its strong adherence to industry standards. Standards allow programmers to port code rapidly from other operating systems to LynxOS. From in-orbit embedded systems to jumbo jets to vital battlefield networks, designers of mission-critical aerospace and defense systems requiring real-time performance, scalability, and high-availability facilities consistently turn to the LynxOS® RTOS and the LynxOS-178 RTOS for software certification to DO-178B. Rich in system resources and networking services, LynxOS provides an off-the-shelf software platform with hard real-time response backed by powerful distributed computing (CORBA), high reliability, software certification, and long-term support options.

The LynxOS-178 RTOS for software certification, based on the RTCA DO178B standard, assists developers in gaining certification for their mission- and safety-critical systems. Real-time systems programmers get a boost with Lynux Works' DO-178B RTOS training courses. LynxOS-178 is the first DO-178B and EUROCAE/ED-12B certifiable, POSIX®-compatible RTOS solution. MEDICAL ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY:

With the introduction of the Lynx Secure separation kernel and embedded hypervisor, medical devices can now have the best of both worlds, with hard real-time applications running alongside commercial desktop operating systems on the same industrystandard Intel® processors. The separation kernel offers both safety and security partitioning for applications. The embedded hypervisor functionality allows "guest" operating systems and their applications to run in their own partitions.
