RTOS enables designers to sieze IoT opportunities

Supporting physical targets and the VxWorks simulator, VectorCAST enables organizations to build high quality applications with speed and efficiency. Test execution and results capture the new VxWorks Target Communication Framework (TCF). The VectorCAST solution abstracts the complexity of test execution under VxWorks, allowing for single click test execution and completely automated regression testing, hallmarks of the VectorCAST solution.

“Vector Software has a longstanding commitment to Wind River RTOS solutions”, said John Paliotta, Chief Technology Officer, Vector Software. “Together, we’re able to help companies bring tested, high quality applications to market faster.”

Reducing development and maintenance costs, the Wind River VxWorks environment leverages a combination of the VxWorks microkernel (as small as 20 KB) and the standard kernel, both built on the same VxWorks platform. This creates one RTOS foundation that can scale across different classes of devices. The RTOS is engineered to enable organizations to seize the opportunity offered by the IoT by providing a modular, configurable, and expandable platform for connected devices. Enabling easier upgrades and less testing, the platform is used for devices in industries ranging from aerospace and defense, industrial, medical, automotive, and small-footprint consumer devices to large networking equipment.

“The VxWorks 7 and VectorCAST integration enables engineers to work in a seamless development environment, significantly accelerating deployment times while ensuring high quality applications are released,” said Dinyar Dastoor, Vice President of Product Management at Wind River.
