Team Formed For AFDX, RTOS

Software engineering firm EmbVUE, of Montreal, has teamed with LynuxWorks to offer its “A-Stack” AFDX solutions for the latter company’s LynxOS-178 real-time operating system (RTOS).
A-Stack is an ARINC 664 subset network stack implemented in software “that is fully certifiable” to RTCA DO-178B Level A for safety-critical avionics. A-Stack supports compliant, profiled and deterministic networks as well as providing AFDX support where that is required, EmbVUE said.
“LynxOS-178 is key to a number of our customers and we recognize how important it is for us to have a really integrated software approach in our market,” stated Phil Cole, EmbVUE business development manager. “The objective of teaming with LynuxWorks in this area is to make it easy for our customers to leverage the power of LynxOS-178 in projects that require certifiable AFDX capabilities.”
