LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics now supports 11th generation Intel Core processors
Lynx Software Technologies announced that its LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics software development framework now supports 11th Generation Intel Core i7.
Lynx also announced the first board products it is supporting with the new processor, from Kontron and Mercury Systems.
Because of the nature of safety certification, it is more straightforward to certify a processor with fewer, higher-performance CPU cores than one that incorporates a larger quantity of lower-performance cores. The new 11th Generation Intel Core processors extends the performance range supported by this joint Intel-Lynx solution, which starts with Intel Atom at the lower end, up to the latest Intel Xeon processor. This means customers can use the same technology across platforms to address a diverse set of performance points.
LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics is a set of Lynx software, third-party technology and tools that Lynx has proven to reliably work together for rapidly building robust avionics systems. The platform is founded on the company’s lightweight hypervisor, LynxSecure, which was developed according to DO-178C DAL A standards and supports ARINC 653 architecture requirements. LYNX MOSA.ic also adheres to the Modular Open Systems Approach laid out by the U.S. Department of Defense, with open flexibility that enables real-time developers to efficiently bring to market complex hardware and software platforms.
