Aonix Releases ObjectAda® Real-Time RAVEN™ for PikeOS
Sep 25, 2006 - 18:43 PM
PikeOS controls microkernel access to the hardware and allows multiple software partitions to execute on a single CPU with strict separation between them. Each partition can either run application programs or an entire operating system such as Linux, POSIX or ARINC653. This flexibility enables control of applications running under these uniquely different systems to execute in parallel with visualization software under Linux or Java™. Sophisticated, but potentially untrusted applications such as Linux, can be separated from critical components and can therefore be integrated in a safety-critical system. If certification is required, only the safety-critical components need to be certified.
“Aonix is pleased to be the first safety-critical Ada supplier to support PikeOS,” said Gary Cato, Aonix strategic alliances manager. “Reducing the certification cost or allowing additional functionality and complexity in safety-critical systems without dramatically increasing certification burden is now possible, thanks to the partitioning technology offered in SYSGO’s PikeOS product.”
“The safe code structures of ObjectAda Real-Time RAVEN are invaluable to safety-constrained applications,” states Torsten Voegler, marketing manager at SYSGO. “By combining the Aonix safety-critical development and runtime environment with our multipartition strategy, developers are empowered to build more elegant systems with standard, off-the-shelf components and still meet stringent certification requirements. The combination of ObjectAda Real-Time RAVEN and the PikeOS microkernel provides the solution many of our customers have requested.”
ObjectAda Real-Time RAVEN for Intel/Linux targeting PowerPC/PikeOS is an embedded Ada development system that allows engineers to build applications in a Linux environment for deployment in appropriately configured partitions of PikeOS running on a PowerPC platform. The product consists of a fully compliant ACATS 2.5 Ada 95 compiler with supporting tools including a build/bind tool, library tool and debugger, and delivered with a predefined program library which conforms to the Ravenscar profile subset of the full predefined language. It is compatible with PikeOS 1.3 and the PowerPC OEA CPU architecture.
