Package Paradigm for VxWorks 7

3 Years

• New infrastructure for installation, distribution, and deployment of

application packages

• Support for incremental addition or deletion of components

8

Scalability

VxWorks 7 Core Platform OS

Lifecycle of Application is separate from core kernel

• Enables individual apps to be patched or updated at any time,

as needed

VxWorks 7 Core Platform OS

Multiple versions of Packages can coexists in the development tree

• Enables patches or new versions to

be tried out and rolled back when

required

Microkernel Profile

VxWorks Microkernel

Standard VxWorks Kernel

Edge Devices

• Very small kernel (~20 KB)

• Lower safety certification cost

• Fast threading model

• Suitable for multi-core SoC, multiprocessor, or sensors

11

Scalability

VxWorks Microkernel

Standard VxWorks Kernel

• Multi-core with big and small core configurations

• Offload of important or repetitive tasks for maximum

processing efficiency

Designed for Big-Little Core Configurations

Impact Value

Scalability: Reducing Time-to-Market at Lower Cost

Single software platform for small and large applications

Use common technology, lowering

the cost of the BSP, certification,

security, and engineers.

>$1M for companies with more than 5 projects

Patches only when and where

needed Avoid major testing efforts across

the platform, saving $$$. 3 man months for each incident

Frequent updates as technology

and markets evolve

Become competitive without the

risk of breaking fielded devices.

Strategic impact on overall business and profitability

Impact Value

Safety: Reduce Cost by Consolidation of Applications

Run safe and non-safe applications on the same device.

Save big costs in hardware,

maintenance, and inventory

40% reduction in BOM cost, overall savings of up to 60%

Update non-safe applications without recertification of the device.

Allow frequent modification of the device without spending time and money.

At least $500K in savings with strategic competitive edge

Security Safety

Scalability

Designing with “Just Enough Security” Security

21

Flexible implementation to

match the level of threat

All threat scenarios

addressed

Storage (on device)

Environment (where installed)

Access Points (in operation)

Accessing Threat Scenarios Across the Device Lifecycle

Security

22

Boot Run Time Power Down

Design

Prevent malicious code in development

Prevent untrusted

binaries from executing

Prevent malicious attacks in operation

Prevent onboard data access when

at rest

Four Pillars of Security Provided by VxWorks Security

Impact Value

Security: Reduce Cost with Just Enough Security

Comprehensive security solution across major threat environment

Competitive advantage by offering

a solid, secure device

Flexibility in designing minimal set

of security necessary for the device Cost savings as the CPU is only

minimally used for security
