General Purpose Platform
Wind River General Purpose Platform, VxWorks Edition provides a solid foundation for a broad variety of devices, from aerospace and defense applications to networking and consumer electronics gear, robotics and industrial applications, precision medical instruments, and automobile navigation and telematics systems. The platform is ideally suited for devices requiring a highly scalable, hard real-time, deterministic run-time environment.
VxWorks Run-Time
General Purpose Platform is built on the industry-leading real-time operating system (RTOS), VxWorks 6.8, and includes integrated networking and run-time technologies. The latest edition of VxWorks is backward-compatible with earlier versions, allowing customers to leverage existing and legacy software assets. This evaluation also includes VxWorks Simulator (which allows use of the platform without having to connect to a target device), Wind River Compiler, and Wind River GCC Compiler. VxWorks offers support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and for asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) for multicore processors as part of the VxWorks platforms. Separate evaluations are available for the multiprocessing configurations.
Wind River Workbench
This evaluation version of General Purpose Platform includes Wind River Workbench 3.2, our integrated, Eclipse-based development suite.
