Ny VxWorks platform

Wind River, der nu er en del af Intel-koncernen, lancerer ny udvidelse af VxWorks produktporteføljen (in english).

Wind River has introduced VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0, the latest addition to the VxWorks product portfolio, which adresses the security needs of the aerospace and defense industries.

VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 provides customers with a robust operating system
foundation and an award-winning development environment to build multilevel secure
(MLS) systems. The platform includes a VxWorks runtime environment, allowing Wind
River customers to leverage their in-house VxWorks experts as well as legacy VxWorks
application code within new multilevel secure systems, and a high-assurance runtime
environment for development of guards, downgraders, and other components requiring
the highest security.


The Boeing Company, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Lockheed
Martin Corporation, and Raytheon Company are among the companies working with
VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0.

- The high performance and mature functionality of VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 is based
on seven years of customer experience with our time- and space-partitioning operating
system for avionics implemented in more than 160 projects worldwide, says Marc
Brown, vice president of marketing and strategy, VxWorks Product Division, Wind River.

- Customers that will develop on VxWorks MILS will benefit materially from the reduction
of development time, cost, and risk that our solution offers, while also remaining
confident knowing they have a comprehensive, secure, and stable solution backed by
industry leader Wind River.

The VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 features:
• VxWorks MILS separation kernel, developed to conform to the NIAP-validated
U.S. Government Protection Profile for Separation Kernels in Environments
Requiring High Robustness, Version 1.03 (SKPP);
• Direct support for high-assurance customer applications in partitions, such as
guards and downgraders, using the High Assurance Environment, including a
simple separation kernel interface and secure inter-partition communication
(SIPC);
• VxWorks Guest Operating System in partitions, enabling direct porting of existing
VxWorks applications;
• Wind River industry-specific networking technology stacks including IPv4, UDP,
and TCP;
• An extensive offering of targeted drivers and partner middleware; and
• Wind River Workbench, the leading Eclipse-based development suite.

VxWorks MILS 2.0 is officially listed as 'In Evaluation' by the National Information
Assurance Partnership (NIAP), operated by the National Security Agency (NSA), for
conformance to the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 6+ and High
Robustness. An EAL6+, High Robustness-certified operating system is designed to be “a
highly robust foundation for system services and applications in mission-critical systems”
according to the SKPP.

VxWorks MILS 2.0 is built using Type-1 hypervisor technology, derived from the Wind
River Hypervisor product, also launched today. Wind River Hypervisor provides highperformance virtualization for single and multicore processors across a range of vertical market segments.

This approach in the VxWorks MILS architecture maximizes performance (by minimizing partitioning overhead), maximizes determinism (by reducing partition jitter), and improves fault isolation and recovery (by isolating guest operating systems and associated applications). The virtualization provided by the hypervisor, coupled with the security properties of the entire VxWorks MILS separation kernel, results in a MILS architecture designed to provide a high level of assurable security.

Wind River’s VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 will be available on June 26, 2009 on Power
Architecture MPC8641D on the Curtiss-Wright high performance VPX6-185 single board
computer.
