Within the next few years, device software will be running on every imaginable product. These devices will exist in every vertical market and will be required to serve multiple application purposes. Companies that develop these intelligent, connected devices will be challenged with rising complexity, rapidly evolving standards, tighter quality control, and shorter market windows.
Wind River solutions are built around the two leading operating systems used for device software development, the VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) and open source–based Linux. All our platforms include Wind River Workbench, our Eclipse-based development suite. Our industry-specific platforms offer a rich set of integrated run-time technologies, including extensive networking protocols, security, wireless, mobility, and graphics.

Wind River Real-Time Core for Linux
Wind River Real-Time Core is an optional extension to Wind River Linux that enables guaranteed real-time response for applications ranging from single core feature phones and high-bandwidth IP communications to robotics and industrial control.
Real-Time Core is implemented as a real-time executive that coexists with the Wind River Linux kernel. Real-Time Core executes Linux as the lowest priority task. The Real-Time Core scheduler preempts Linux and provides low-interrupt latency response times to real-time applications. Real-Time Core applications are written in C using standard POSIX system calls.
