Wind Rivers Platform for Industrial devices

Development Suite Wind River Workbench / RTOS VxWorks / industry-specific drives and protocolls

Wind River, the global leader in Device Software Optimization, provides industrial, medical, and robotics developers with the Wind River Platform for Industrial Devices, a device software optimization (DSO) solution that combines VxWorks, the industry's leading real-time operating system; Wind River Workbench, the premier open device software development suite; and essential networking and connectivity run-time technologies.

Platform for Industrial Devices relies on the proven, deterministic, hard real-time characteristics of the industry-leading VxWorks operating system. VxWorks supports user-mode processes and offers advanced memory protection, configurable error management, TIPC messaging, and increased POSIX compliance. VxWorks 6.x is backward compatible with previous releases, so developers can leverage and reuse existing projects, BSPs, and drivers as well as open-source applications.

The platform provides drivers and protocols for connected devices on the factory floor, wireless peripherals, and other devices within the network infrastructure. Support includes CAN, DCOM, OPC, USB, Wi-Fi, and IPv4/IPv6. The platform includes an extensive suite of security protocols to protect network data. This suite provides implementations of IPsec and IKE, Firewall and NAT, Radius Client, 802.11i wireless security, SSL, and Digital Certificates. These protocols can be used in any combination to provide secure applications that require access control, authentication, and privacy.

An integrated development suite based on the Eclipse framework, Workbench provides deep capabilities that support the entire development lifecycle, from hardware bring-up to platform and application development, and enables standardization on one common development suite across the enterprise.
