KEY FEATURES
At Wind River, we take pride in the innovations that continue to make VxWorks the No. 1 RTOS in the world, and were committed to excellence in each of our core strength areas: Scalability: An indispensable RTOS foundation for very small-scale devices, large-scale networking systems, and everything in between, VxWorks is the first RTOS to provide full 64-bit processing to support the ever-growing data requirements for embedded realtime systems. VxWorks is scalable in terms of memory footprint and functionality; our modular design allows you to tune it to the exact needs of your projects footprint and processing power requirements. VxWorks is also scalable in terms of system complexity. As next-generation intelligent devices become more and more interconnected into systems or even clusters of systems, VxWorks is ready with the security, connectivity, and reliability you need. Footprint: VxWorks is completely configurable and tunable, with a small memory footprint for todays memory-constrained systems. You control how much of the operating system you need. Real-time performance: Capable of dealing with the most demanding time constraints, VxWorks is a high-performance RTOS tuned for both determinism and responsiveness. Reliability: A high-reliability RTOS, VxWorks provides certification evidence required by strict safety and security standards. Even for non-safety-critical systems, VxWorks is counted on to run forever, error-free. State-of-the-art memory protection: Memory management unit (MMU)based memory protection increases reliability. VxWorks encorporates a process-based model that provides user-mode application execution in addition to its traditional kernel-mode execution. Multi-core leadership: The VxWorks SMP- and AMP-enabled platforms allow developers to deliver higher-performance multi-core-powered products with reduced risk and development investment. Extensive connectivity: Wind River VxWorks platforms deliver support for industry-leading connectivity standards and protocols out of the box, with proven high-performance networking support, including offload acceleration. Backward compatibility: VxWorks 6.x is designed to ease migration from VxWorks 5.5. To that end, the kernel of VxWorks 6.x supports the VxWorks 5.5 kernel operating environment. Most board support packages (BSPs), drivers, and kernel applications developed for or ported to VxWorks 5.5 will run in the VxWorks 6.x kernel. Wind River Workbench development environment: Workbench offers best-in-class development, debug, and analysis tools for VxWorks deployment and development. System analysis tools provide unique in-depth information about system behavior as a complement to the advanced debugging tools available within Workbench. VxWorks simulation, system configuration, and deployment tools are also included in Workbench. Optional extras such as Wind River Workbench On-Chip Debugging augment the development suite.

USE CASES
Mission Critical Systems Wind River VxWorks platforms are the go-to platforms for devices that require safety and security both in certified and non-certified systems. When a proven, reliable, COTS solution with hard real-time performance and determinism is required, VxWorks provides a low-risk, cost-saving development platform. Reducing Size, Weight, and Power Technology innovations in embedded processors, such as multi-core support and improved power management, have opened the door for increased system consolidation for embedded systems. VxWorks platforms provide flexible multi-core support on the latest embedded processors and systems on chips (SoCs), offering an ideal consolidation platform to reduce size, weight, and power. Connected, Intelligent Systems As the Internet of Things becomes a reality, the key to success is a proven, secure platform for the multitude of devices (the things). VxWorks has the connectivity, security, reliability, and proven track record to be the platform of choice for the next generation of intelligent devices.
