Good software performs the tasks you specify securely safely and reliably Moreover it has to meet criteria such as application-specific real-time require-ments if your applications need them meet your cost budget and most impor-tantly it wonrsquot break Sometime ago I had a conversation with a Microsoft test man-ager I asked him ldquoWhy do I keep getting bug fixes from Microsoft for my Windows Why donrsquot you test your software to make it bug-freerdquo He answered ldquoIndeed we do extensive tests on all our software prod-ucts before we would consider releasing it to production When we find a bug you can be sure it will be fixed Why would I want to ship a product with bugsrdquo Micro-soft is the worldrsquos largest software compa-ny with a lot of resources If anyone could deliver bug-free software it would be Microsoft I am a hardware guy I remem-bered when our team designed a system we made sure everything worked before we released it to production Additionally Test Engineering and QA will have to sign off the product to ensure it really worked If it failed in the field we blamed it on software We all know a system is a combi-nation of software and hardware Software behaves in such a way that when certain combination of sequence of events occur the software will fail That is why Dynamic and Static Analysis tools are available to improve software quality

Safety and security are on my mind a lot these days When I think about driverless cars I think about safety and security How do you prevent future autonomous cars from getting into an accident when

we cannot even stop a train from derailing today According to John Paliotta CTO of Vector Software a software quality com-pany ldquoit is impossible to build completely bug-free applications but we can build dependable and robust applications if we implement a continuous test process and measure testing completeness using code coverage analysis The avionics indus-try has successfully used this approach to quality for years and the automotive industry is well on its way to adopting a similar approachrdquo My conclusion is when something happens to a good piece of software it will have either a backup plan or a way to shutdown orderly to avoid catastrophic consequences

Here is another area of concern We are all aware of the high profile hacking done to companies like Sony banks and yes even a police chief was hacked I have had first-hand experience of being attacked by malicious individuals Somehow my security software was not strong enough For a long time hackers stole personal information such as credit cards to sell it on line Now theyrsquove come up with a new business model call ransomeware Recent reports including that from BBC indicated the Ransomware has found an easy target hospitals to extract money A local hospital in Southern California gave in and paid the ransom According to Eric Knight CEO of SimpleWan a security software consulting firm ldquoToday compa-nies are not proactive enough You need to have the resources allocated including proper IT knowledge anti-virus software and the team in place to fight battle It will

only get worserdquo Demand for services form companies like SimpleWan has been in-creasing as more and more attacks occur

In this special software Edition we have listed solutions from 17 leading suppliers of RTOS and embedded software for your reference Additionally we have invited experts to share their expertise on safety and security Finally to look into the future of software we have a round table discussion with participants from Micrium Express Logic Wind River and Annabooks LLC If you have new ideas to share let me know

Technology is moving very fast The world is buzzing about how wonderful it will be to have connected driverless cars trucks and boats Communications among Machines the Cloud and now the Fog are taking place at very high speed The Internet-of-Things is unstoppable and will connect billions and maybe even trillions things together All these will require software good software Where are we heading In this Round Table section we have invited four veteran software experts An-nabooks Express Logic Micrium and Wind River to share their insights concern and tell us what the future will look like

Round Table What Does the Future Hold




1 To address the needs of connected systems vechicle-2-vechicle drone control AI and M2M what features do you think should be included in future Embedded Operating Systems

Today the biggest feature is the machine communication protocol There are 4 to 5 proposed standards Thread Alljoyn Open Interconnect Consortium Connectivity Foundation and Industrial Internet Consortium Some operating system vendors are already integrating some solutions but each vertical industry segment will most likely define protocols and standards The operating system will have to have flexible support for the different industry standards Like all standards and proposed consortiums only time will tell which ones will be left standing

2 Recently there are discussions on moving Cloud Computing to Fog Computing Instead of having everything done by the ldquoCloudrdquo more and more computing and storage will be shared by the localregional edge devices What are your thoughts on this and how would this affect the future Embedded Operating Systems

On big domains there are different types of servers to handle different types of operations There is already talk of data over-load for Cloud computing Being able to off load data storage and other cloud computing tasks to other levels is a logical step My belief is that careful cloud application design to off load data to local resources rather than push up to the bigger cloud will be important Companies will have to choose what data is import-ant versus what can be discarded Embedded operating systems only need to support the different cloud APIs

3 I would like to explore with you what the future will be like in relation to IoT and Embedded Operating Systems For example do you believe Cloud will dominate sensor become smarter (with more local computing power) andor connected devices will have deep learning capability (Artificial Intelligence)

ldquoBeing able to off load data storage and other cloud computing tasks to other levels is a logical steprdquo

Obviously the cloud is taking a big part in the embedded systems Only a couple of my customers are getting into the cloud today I anticipate that will change in 5 years Business decision makers need to determine what data and event triggers are relevant for their business The process takes time Once de-termined then finding companies with the right fit of products is important and this will influence smart sensors and other connected devices




Fundamental features like fast context switching and real-time determinism will continue to be key features for RTOSrsquos as connected thingssystems evolve More devices will be collecting or generating data than ever before of course safety and security will play an increasingly important role as more safety-critical and sensitive data is transferred between devices


We believe Cloud and Fog computing will coexist Informa-tion captured or generated by the burgeoning number of things on the IOT will be a mixture of non-sensitive sensitive and safe-ty-critical data flowing across both the cloud and fog platforms The growing need for data to be collected or generated instantly requires high performance features RTOSrsquos will need to provide safe secure and reliable IoT communication solutions with minimal memorypower requirements


As mentioned earlier we believe Cloud and Fog computing will coexist The IOT is connecting devices that will provide information for lsquointelligentrsquo interpretation allowing systems and people to make decisions quicker and hopefully better We

are already seeing how wearable medical devices are providing real-time information that helps people avoid behaviors that might trigger adverse medical conditions As these devices become more integrated into larger diagnostic and treatment systems we see the need for safe secure and reliable real-time operating systems and middleware solutions expanding into new devices to address real-time capabilities and current devic-es that will be lsquosmarterrsquo



Embedded operating systemsrsquo greatest need currently are securi-ty features that can scale to any processor size This is challenging especially on small microcontrollers but required by emerging security requirements Achieving secure boot secure firmware upgrades authentication authorization etc simply requires more hardware resources than are available on small microcontrollers As we reach the limits of Moorersquos law the next processor architec-ture step is to move to multiple cores Given the emerging security requirements symmetrical multiprocessing will become a necessi-ty for embedded operating systems


A move to fog computing would require the same security and processing performance enhancements outlined above as well as new mandatory requirements for improved connectivity From Mi-criumrsquos point of view we are already seeing a need for an embedded operating system (in our case an RTOS) to enable scaling from small microcontrollers to large application processors A system is com-posed of many components so having an operating system than can span the complete product architecture offers great economy of scale This aligns perfectly to the architecture proposed by fog computing


ldquoClearly embedded oper-ating systems offer many advantages in terms of size and performancerdquo

IoT is the sum of sensorsactuators microcontrollersmicroproces-sors wiredwireless connectivity multiple programming languag-es information technologies and operation technologies not to mention interoperability standards Much advancement in all of these technologies is required to enhance security performance artifi-cial intelligence and fog computing Clearly embedded operating systems offer many advantages in terms of size and performance over other operating systems so will have a significant role in the IoT That being said the main challenge today is one of cost Although the IoT can clearly be a business enabler full-scale IoT penetration can only happen with more economy of scale in a large number of fields

At the very basic level any device participating in a connected system will need a robust connectivity solution and good enough security to protect it But that does not give you any benefits un-less you have figured out ldquohow to connectrdquo ldquowho to connectrdquo and most important ldquowhy should you connectrdquo

The OS should be able to seamlessly manage multi-element connectivity It should provide a framework to cache command signals or data streams should the device go off-line in a pre-planned manner or suddenly drop connection A robust OS will have a device-side management agent embedded inside to take care of exchanging credentials with unique identifiers with a device management cloud service The OS also needs to provide a framework for easy ldquoover the airrdquo maintenance upgrade and most important the ability to roll-back any updates should something go wrong Finally the OS should provide open standards based APIs to manage everything we discussed

2 Recently there are discussions on moving Cloud Computing to Fog Computing Instead of having every-thing done by the ldquoCloudrdquo more and more computing and storage will be shared by the localregional edge devices What are your thoughts on this and how would this affect the future Embedded Operating Systems

While the concept of ldquofog computingrdquo is not new it has gained lot of attention recently The business needs to collect as much data as possible and the need to optimize the cost of transporting this data has to be appropriately balanced Enter ldquofog computingrdquo It does not replace cloud computing it just creates one layer of lo-calized hierarchy for better management of systems This localized layer has an advantage of higher connectivity bandwidth at lower cost localize storage and assurance that data is not leaving a highly secure perimeter On the flip side fog computersquos storage and CPU bandwidth is more expensive than cloud infrastructure For some industries fog computing solves lot of technical and cost issues


In my opinion there is no one utopian vision for future of devices and their embedded OSs in IoT no one element of the

network will dominate Instead each element will play a key role in the larger system of systems and this role will constantly evolve as new use cases and innovation happens Yes devices will become ldquosmarterrdquo because they can analyze things in real-time and at the same time become ldquodumberrdquo as more decisions will be made somewhere in the network OSs will evolve to be flexible to fit such cases The cloud will move towards providing cheaper storage and compute networks will continue to boost performance and devic-es at the edge will continue to find new applications The sum total of this will lead to new use cases which we have not imagined yet

30 HOW TO DEVELOP GOOD SOFTWARE THAT IS SAFE SECURE AND ROBUST

by Jerry Krasner Embedded Market Forecasters

The RTOS Dilemma Are Open Source RTOSes Economic or CostlyDevelopers are barraged with claims that developments based on open source soft-ware are less expensive that those developments using commercial OSes This paper presents data based on development information from more than 2700 developers that discuss this issue

OverviewTheodore Levitt the renowned Harvard professor used to tell

his students ldquoPeople donrsquot want to buy a quarter-inch drill they want a quarter-inch holerdquo Following this line of thought prices may vary depending on the type of drill required but the true cost of getting their quarter-inch hole depends more on the cost of the drill used as well as the time required of someone to drill it Similarly the acquisition of the RTOS is not for the RTOSes sake ndash but rather a choice in search of a cost effective and time sensitive designdevelopment solution

The RTOS enigma can be seen in the same light It matters little if the drill bit is free or if it comes at a price The true cost includes more than the acquisition cost

Intuitively the idea that a ldquofreerdquo RTOS reduces development costs can be no more than fanciful thinking ndash it depends on facts not on anecdotes

Anecdotes are not data ndash they supplement ideas for which no data exists (true or false) to provide guidance to developers managers and CFOs

Every day developers are barraged with claims and count-


er claims regarding the use of RTOSes development tools programming languages and more FUD has become less than an idea and more of an institutional malaise It frequently masquerades as a reasonable idea ndash open source software for example is ldquofreerdquo or so their proponents proclaim But is there any comprehensive source of user data that can validate this claim In this paper we will present a financial comparison (Cost of Development) between the RTOS industry a specific example of a commercial RTOS Linux developments and open source developments The results may be surprising to some and not so to others

The data presented herein is based on the results of the 2016 Annual EMF Embedded Developer Survey (1298 respondents) and is nearly identical to the data derived from 1337 respon-dents in 2015

In developing this cost data (using our unique EMF Dashboard wwwembeddedforecastcom) we were able to do a simultane-ous comparison of the data presented in the following Tables by determining the number of software developers per project the time period from design start to projectproduct shipment and the percentage of designs completed behind schedule

EMF based on the responses to their 2016 Survey of Embed-ded Developers (1298 respondents) created six cadres of data by filtering the responses to developers using any RTOS those using a commercially available (3 examples) those using Linux and those having reported using open source software As this is a vendor agnostic paper the commercial RTOSes are referred to as Commercial A Commercial B and Commercial CTHE DATA IS ACCURATE ndash JUST THE NAMES HAVE BEEN WITHHELD

Simultaneously arranging them in matrix format comparative data was derived from the database as follows

bull Number of software and hardware developers per projectbull Number of months between project start and project

completion (development duration)bull Percentage of developments completed behind schedule and

the number of months of behind schedule activityTHESE DATA CAN BE USED TO CALCULATE THE AVERAGE TOTAL COST OF DEVELOPMENT

bull Multiplying the number of developers per project by the development duration yields ldquoBase Development Cost in Man Monthsrdquo

bull Multiplying the number of developers per project by the percent of behind schedule completions and by the number of months the development was behind yields ldquoBehind Schedule Costs in Man Monthsrdquo

bull Combining these ldquoCosts in Man Monthsrdquo yields ldquoTotal Cost of Developmentrdquo measured in man months

By assuming that on average a developer man month (salary plus overhead) equal to $10000 the comparative Total Cost of Developments for the six cadres can be shown in dollars

WHAT WE LEARNED FROM TABLE Ibull One needs to look at the factors that create total direct

costs ndash not at any one particular data point Developers can improve time-to-market by adding more developers to the project ndash but at an increased cost Comparing behind schedule completions to each other can also be misleading The cost of the loss in schedule time depends on the number of project developers as well as the number of months lost to schedule

bull The Average Cost of Development (measured in man months) is measured by multiplying the number of develop-ers required for a project by the number of months required to complete the project

bull Although the average number of developersproject is bet-ter for Commercial RTOSes A and C Commercial RTOS B

presented in Table I Looking at Table I might lead some readers to conclude that

the average cost of development is the same for all RTOS devel-opments which includes Linux developments and open source developments This is not necessarily so There are a number of high power commercial RTOSes for which the cost of develop-ment is very high as well as a number of commercial RTOSes whose development costs are much lower than those of Linux or open source developments

The important take away from Table I is that although most Linux and open source software is free ndash that is free of acqui-sition costs ndash it canrsquot be really free if the actual cost of develop-ment is greater than the cost of a commercial RTOS

What Table I doesnrsquot take into consideration is whether the design was compromised (by removing features and capabili-ties) in order to meet a target window of opportunity In such

Table 2 Comparing Design Outcomes between Commercial Oses and those of Open Source anad Embedded Linux Developments


a design might appear to be cost effective but fail to reach its intended capabilities

The 2016 survey and associated data address this possibil-ity EMF calls this ldquoDesign Outcomesrdquo in which developers indicate how close their final design outcome compares with their pre-design expectation Developers are given choices from within 10 to within 50 with 10 intervals and a final data point ldquonot within 50rdquo

Clearly ldquowithin 10rdquo represents the best possible design outcome and shows that feature and capability requirements were met

SummaryIn an increasingly competitive embedded environment where

cost containment and time to market are keys to success it is important to inform developers and financial managers to the realities that extensive and comprehensive surveys can reveal The use of Linux and open source software can be very effec-tive ndash but there are reasons why developing with them is more expensive This is a topic for a future discussion

The purpose of this paper is an attempt to put forward a ra-tional discussion regarding the use of commercial and so-called ldquofreerdquo software The data presented in Tables I and II are based on data derived from a broad user base Certainly we may find that for certain verticals and for specific projects open source outcomes may prove to be less costly The 2016 EMF database

includes 32 different design projects reported by developers In addition we can break out developments into 4 distinct levels of complexity as well according to whether or not cadres of developers are working on IoT applications We did not pursue these possibilities

For example when looking specifically at automotivetrans-portation applications open source developments have been found to have the same or slightly better costs of development than those using a commercial RTOS

What we have presented here is data regarding costs of devel-opment between commercial and free RTOSes based on year-over-year data derived from over 2600 survey respondents Letrsquos base future discussions on these or other statistically accurate information ndash not on anecdotal stories

IntroductionSoftware was once seen as the ldquoholy grailrdquo since it is not me-

chanical many organizations figured it could be written once and used many times without breaking down But problems began to appear ultimately caused by the continual development of soft-ware without the correct quality control processes typically due to incredible business pressures to release new products

This has resulted in legacy software applications carrying an enormous amount of technical debt a metaphorical term for latent defects introduced during system architecture design or development The accumulated liability of technical debt created when organizations take design and test shortcuts in order to meet short-term goals eventually make software difficult to main-tain As technical debt increases developers spend a majority of their time fixing bugs and struggling with fragile code rather than building new features

For this reason legacy code bases are one of the biggest challenges in software today Many organizations are finding that legacy software typically has a waning lifespan after that they are forced to decide whether to throw it away and start again from scratch or try to salvage it In most cases a substantial financial investment has been made in the code base and there is tremen-dous pressure to re-use it

Security Concerns Increasing in an IoT World

When software was held in proprietary systems or closed en-terprise environments technical debt issues could stay somewhat contained However with the Internet of Things (IoT) enabling the interconnection of the physical and virtual world based on in-teroperable communication technologies technical debt becomes a more serious problem Gartner predicted that there would be ldquo49 billion connected things in 2015 up 30 from 2014 andhellip[could] reach 25 billion by 2020 Note 1rdquo

In IoT essentially every electronic device will have network

connectivity That means every manufacturer of electronic devices will also be in the software business This redefines the need for security by expanding the scope of responsibility into new platforms and services The demand for predictable behavior is paramount especially if the safety of users or the environment is at risk However in a fiercely competitive industry such as IoT first-to-market advantage is huge and developers will be under intense pressure to get products released quickly

It has been proven time and again in software development that this thinking sacrifices quality for speed This tradeoff can be dangerous with regard to many IoT-enabled products such as smart cars medical devices and home safety systems Malfunc-tion of these systems can put lives at risk Stricter software quality measures and a focus on testing are going to be a top priority for many senior executives

Characterizing the Behavior of SoftwareThe key to reducing technical debt is to refactor components

(the process of restructuring application components without changing its external behaviorAPI) over time but developers are often hesitant to do so for fear of breaking existing functionality One of the biggest impediments to refactoring is the lack of tests that formalize existing behavior or a testing environment that proves the correct behavior of the component Without refactor-ing an applicationrsquos code becomes overly complicated and difficult to maintain As new features and bug fixes are bolted onto existing functionality the original design often loses its simplicity

According to a Gartner study ldquoa lack of repeatable test cases limits an organizationrsquos ability to demonstrate functional equiva-lence in an objective measurable way Note 2rdquo This is a growing problem as there are many deployedfielded applications based on legacy code bases that donrsquot have test cases to run against The reason companies are facing an issue in the first place is often that they want to deploy software in a new platformproduct and they have essentially broken the existing test frameworks needed

Figure 1 Approach to paying off technical debt Once the behavior of software has been baselined developers can make modifications to the code with confi-dence that application behavior has not regressed




to validate the software There is a massive quality gap that needs to be addressed along with insurmountable work ahead ndash and companies usually donrsquot know where to start or donrsquot have the resources needed to address the problem

The lack of sufficient tests typically means that a software ap-plication cannot be easily modified since unfortunately changes frequently break existing functionality If some existing capability is broken the developer needs to understand if it was because the original software was written incorrectly or missed a requirement that wasnrsquot adequately captured in the original implementation

Baseline testing also known as characterization testing can be done to characterize the current behavior of software and is useful for legacy code bases that have inadequate test cases Once the cur-rent behavior of the software is understood it is then reasonable to look at the source code as a basis for defining test scenarios

By using automatic test case generation to quickly provide this baseline set of tests that capture existing behavior testing com-pleteness of legacy applications is improved and refactoring can be done with confidence that application behavior has not regressed

Approach for Paying Off Technical DebtThe baseline testing process will determine how much technical

debt an application is carrying To address it an organization will usually attempt to go through an exercise of refactoring

Once the behavior of the software has been characterized through baseline testing a developer can start making updates and modifications to the code Change-based testing can then be used to run only the minimum set of test cases needed to show what effect the code changes have on the integrity of the whole system It is not uncommon for a company to take one to two weeks to run all of its test cases With change-based testing a developer can make a ldquoone-linerdquo change and get feedback on its impact to the entire application within a few minutes (See Figure 1)

As a result developers are able to make quick increments on the code while knowing that they have the test cases needed to capture the existing behavior of the software They are also able to do further analysis if something is broken to work out if a bug has been introduced a capability has been removed that actual-ly should be there or if there is a bug that should be addressed because it may have other ramifications

IoT and Legacy Software When Consum-er-Grade Systems Become Safety-Critical

There has been an interesting shift driven by IoT that has re-sulted in a new generation of software that previously did not have safety-critical requirements but now does For example in the era of self-driving cars the telematics system is becoming one of the most critical in-vehicle systems Autonomous driving capabilities have shifted this software-driven system from a consumer-grade communication application to safety-critical as certain autono-mous driving capabilities are reliant on telematics information

This telematics information is enabling potentially life-saving applications For example if a vehicle five cars in front of yours brakes instead of you having to wait for a visual cue from the

vehicle directly in front the vehicle five cars ahead will send a broadcast to your vehicle over the telematics interface that it is braking ndashand that your vehicle also needs to start braking now In this case faulty software has severe ramifications so quality is no longer an option -- it is a necessity

Existing software usually has to be updated to accommodate these new capabilities and there often isnrsquot evidence to demon-strate how the software worked correctly in the past Baseline testing can be used to characterize the behavior of the existing software and to build the test cases needed to enable developers to make needed updates with quality and confidence

In this example the telematics system could possibly have latent system defects (technical debt) that may not be critical in its current environment -- but if the product were to be deployed in another environment those errors could manifest themselves as critical Baseline testing has two main benefits here it will uncov-er the latent bugs and when developers are doing a new revision in the software they can more easily make those changes without worrying about new issues as a result

From avionics and automotive control to medical instru-mentation there is a special class of applications where fast and available are not enough In these life or death applications the software must also exhibit safety criticality This heightened level of reliability ensures that the software is verified correct to minimize failure and that if it does fail that the design level and system safety assessment minimize the threat to life and limb

Undergirding this special breed of software is the safety-crit-ical real-time operating system which ensures that applications have guaranteed access to computer resources and that if they fail the damage is contained and the most critical functions continue to run These RTOSes must be not only fast secure and reliable but exhibit verified correctness through a rigid design and development process A safety-critical RTOS must

Safety-critical RTOS Demands Verified Correctness


by Greg Rose Vice president of marketing DDC-I

The real-time operating systems used in safety-critical applications must offer more than fast deterministic real-time response They must offer time and space partitioning facilities that ensure that critical tasks run to completion and prevent errant and mali-cious code from corrupting critical functions They must also undergo rigorous design and development processes that verify correctness


adhere to the most stringent development analysis verification and test methodologies and undergo the most extensive certi-fication processes by industry and governmental certification authorities

Verifying and certifying safety criticalityNowhere is the demand for safety criticality greater than in

avionics where DO-178C sets the guidance for verification and certification DO-178C specifies five levels of design assurance (Level A to Level E) with Level A being the most stringent Software that can result in a catastrophic failure and loss of life must meet Level A where the probability of failure cannot exceed more than one in 109 per operating hour At the other end of the design assurance level (DAL) spectrum is Level E which applies to software that canrsquot impact safe operation of the aircraft such as passively collecting maintenance data over time for later analysis

DAL A verification ensures that software performs its intend-ed function to an appropriate degree of confidence detecting and reporting software errors that have been introduced during the software development process It confirms that all executable code traces to system software architecture and source code requirements and that 100 of the code paths have been tested This becomes particularly important as the RTOS and appli-cation software evolve making it easier to identify and elimi-nate dead code that can creep into the design as new features upgrades and fixes are added

Verification consists of three activities review testing and analysis Review is a qualitative assessment of compliance with requirements architecture and verifiability to ensure accuracy correctness consistency and completeness

Testing demonstrates that the software meets requirements and to a given degree of confidence that errors that could lead to unacceptable failure conditions (ie incorrect software incorrect requirements incorrect test case) have been removed Hardwaresoftware integration tests verify correct operation in the target environment Software integration tests verify

software interfaces and interdependencies such as initialization control and data coupling

Analysis is a quantitative assessment of accuracy correctness consistency and completeness that utilizes test analysis coverage analysis and traceability analysis The purpose of structural cov-erage analysis which encompasses statement coverage decision coverage and modified condition decision coverage (MCDC) is to ensure adequacy of the test set -- that sufficient testing has been done for the desired assurance level

TraceabilityTraceability analysis makes it easier for designers to verify

that software developed using techniques like UML and math-ematical modeling object-oriented programming and formal methods achieves the desired level of safety criticality It ensures that every requirement is implemented and tested and that every line of code has a reason to be (all code traces to at least one requirement)

Traceability must be top-down and bottom-up from models and requirements down to each line of code and back from the code to the requirements and model including all interceding work products and test cases Traceability also requires that the executable code be intact relative to the source code Many com-pilers for example add branch points in the executable code that are not present in the original source code These branch points must be identified and tested Conversely some optimizations can remove constructs data in particular especially static data

Time and space partitioningUnlike conventional RTOSes which utilize purely pre-emp-

tive interrupt driven scheduling safety-critical RTOSes like Deos may utilize a hybrid approach that combines pre-emptive scheduling with time partitioning In this model safety-critical tasks are budgeted a fixed period time that guarantees sufficient time to execute If they exceed their budget an exception will be raises that can be handled appropriately by the system Remain-ing tasks run within their time budgets to completion or until

Figure 1 By reducing cache interference cache partitioning reduces both worst-case execution time (WCET) and the delta be-tween WCET and average case execution time (ACET) This not only speeds cache access for critical tasks but increases budgeting effi-ciency and CPU utilization



they are pre-empted by a higher priority taskMost safety critical RTOSes utilize a partitioned memory

architecture that allows programmers to run the kernel and all critical application tasks each in their own separate memory partitions where they cannot be corrupted by code running in other partitions This not only enhances safety by isolating and containing failures it also enhances security by preventing lower design assurance or malicious user code from accessing the memory allocated to critical tasks

RTOSes such as Deos afford an extra level of protection that prevents developers of lower design assurance code or less ex-perienced developers from allocating and accessing critical por-tions of memory Typically it is the least skilled developer who poses the greatest risk to system integrity The Deos platform integrator prevents novice developers who would likely be work-ing on tasks with the lowest safety criticality requirements from allocating memory reserved to critical tasks or critical resources by defining their access privileges in the system registry

Performance considerationsWhile the ability to respond quickly to external events is key

to any real-time system it is the ability to minimize worst-case execution time for critical tasks while guaranteeing those tasks sufficient time to execute that characterizes safety-critical systems For developers managing shared resources is essential to mini-mizing worst case execution times (WCET) for critical tasks

For example on-chip cache allows processors to run at on-chip memory bus speeds and increases overall compute power However task switching and competition for cache resources can degrade cache performance and dramatically increase WCET Benchmarks show that WCET can be three times higher than average-case execution time (ACET) on single-core proces-sors and an order of magnitude (or more) higher on multi-core

processors due to cache effectsTo help programmers isolate safety-critical tasks from det-

rimental cache effects DDC-Irsquos Deos safety-critical operating system utilizes a technique called cache partitioning (Figure 1) By setting aside dedicated sections of the cache for critical tasks (or groups of tasks) developers can reduce interference and pro-vide timely deterministic access to cache This reduces WCET thereby decreasing the amount of time that must be budgeted for critical tasks maximizing the ldquoguaranteedrdquo execution time available to safety-critical tasks and increasing CPU utilization

Slack scheduling further increases performance by enabling programmers to harvest the unused time budgeted to time-crit-ical tasks (Figure 2) While cache partitioning reduces the delta between WCET and ACET time-critical tasks will on average still use less time than they are budgeted Slack scheduling enables that unused time to be recouped on the fly and made available to other threads

FACE brings interoperability to safety critical software

No discussion of safety critical software development would be complete without a word on cost and time to market where vendor lock and proprietary interfaces have exacerbated the already steep costs and long delays associated safety-critical verification and certification Leading the charge for cost con-tainment in the software realm is the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) a collaboration of government and in-dustry charged with enhancing interoperability and portability across DoD avionics applications and platforms

By establishing standards for software interfaces interopera-bility and certification FACE will reduce vendor lock opening what have historically been sole-sourced software solutions from one vendor to interoperable solutions from multiple suppliers

This increased competition not only lowers per-program cost but also makes it easier for program managers to take advantage of best-in-class technology and services The new standards will also enhance portability and reuse further reducing cost by making it easier to utilize software compo-nents across multiple platforms and programs

As part of the FACE initiative

the consortium has developed a base profile for RTOSes that combines ARINC-653 and POSIX scheduling The ARINC-653 interface provides the rigid fixed-in-time scheduling required for tasks with high safety criticality while POSIX enables developers to quickly access third party code for less critical functions such as maintenance functions with lower or no safety criticality requirements

DDC-I and On-Line Applications Research (OAR) the original developer of the RTEMS real-time operating system have announced an integrated solution for the FACE Safety Base Profile that incorporates ARINC-653 and POSIX functionality running on DDC-Irsquos Deos The integration features RTEMS host-ed in a Deos time partition giving safety-critical developers a DO-178C certifiable RTOS solution that delivers hard real-time response time- and space-partitioning and both POSIX and ARINC-653 interfaces

Reverse engineered or safety critical by design

Most so-called safety-critical RTOSes are actually generic RTOSes reverse engineered to comply with DO-178C Rather than starting with safety-critical requirements and producing RTOS code that is optimized for those requirements this band-aid approach starts with RTOS code and generates requirements

that are optimized for the code RTOSes like Deos by contrast was developed from the ground up for safety-critical applica-tions using RTCA DO-178B Level A processes This not only enhances safety critical performance and functionality but provides a streamlined path to DO-178 Level A certification

Performance functionality cost and time to market will always top the list for developers seeking an optimal safety-criti-cal COTS RTOS solution but what really separates safety-critical RTOSes from their generic counterparts is verified correctness Where safety is paramount developers must be confident that their RTOS of choice has been scrutinized at the highest level run the gauntlet of analysis test and verification and can meet the most demanding certification requirements

Securing Control Over the IIoT RTOS Comes to the Rescue

by Albert Rooyakkers Founder CTO VP Engineering Bedrock Automation

Instrumentation and Control System (ICS) vendors have been delivering Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions since mid-1990s But now as the tentacles of Moorersquos law software and communication standards spawn more powerful more connected ndash and potentially more vulnerable devices it is time to reexam-ine the fundamental assumptions about protecting this modern technology and the data that courses through it

Legacy ICS systems such as DCS PLC and SCADA systems were engineered using electronic technologies and tools from as far back as the 1970s and 1980s These ICS systems are now vulnerable to rogue actors and nations armed with cyber weapons orders of magnitude more sophisticated than the traditional ICSs they target Typical legacy systems expose pins connectors communication ports circuit boards and a host of back door operating system communication and application vulnerabilities Cyber-attack vectors of legacy platforms involve message flooding eavesdropping message spoofing message alteration message replay malformed messages server profiling session hijacking rogue servers module counterfeiting and compromised user credentials They intend to achieve remote control of the system or process steal intellectual property or both

The best alternative and most modern approach to ICS cyber security is ensuring that it is designed in This requires layering strong authentication of the ICS hardware firmware software communications and applications that comprise ICS computa-tion designing out most attack vectors and their consequences Following are some of the fundamental cyber building blocks of a secure by design ICS

Secure by Design The basicsLegacy ICS system modules are often left with multiple com-

munication ports including serial RS232 RS422 RS485 andor multiple USB and Ethernet ports for debugging diagnostic and interconnection purposes Most of these ports provide potential access to system resources and cyber-attack A modern ICS de-sign fundamentally should eliminate all but the essential network ports and then secure and authenticate all devices and networks that connect to it

Pins and interconnectionsICS backplane and module pins provide another simple means

for a host of cyber attacks including snooping and inserting communication traffic via these pins Replacing the ICS backplane and module pins with a pinless electromagnetic interconnection which is keyed and protected against snooping and insertion of unintended data packets is an effective way to counter a frontal assault through pinned interconnections (Figure 1)

ICS module and backplane pins serve as power and com-munication terminals that route receive and radiate DC to RF energy Every pin is an antenna susceptible to RFI bursts from handheld radios and EMI from motors variable frequency drives and other electrical equipment In addition most ICS system modules are constructed of vented plastic These factors make systems so susceptible to RFI that even a handheld radio

The increasing connectivity of intelligent industrial devices presents a tremendous op-portunity to transform industry The opportunity however brings potential new vulner-ability Building ICS cyber security into control systems at birth can provide the deep protection that must accompany the advance of the Industrial Internet of Things

Figure 1 The pin-less electromagnetic backplane of the Bedrocktrade industrial control system has a parallel architecture that supports ultra-fast scan times regardless of IO count The removal of IO pins improves reliability and increases cyber security while forming a galvanic isolation barrier for every IO channel


can distort and disrupt communication and computation From crude ldquoRFI bombsrdquo to complex EMP weapons electromagnetic radiation is an ICS cyber vulnerability A pinless backplane and sealed all-metal modules counter this threat without expensive complex secondary containment

Counterfeiting protectionModule counterfeiting is widespread Rogue actors compa-

nies and nations incorporate malware into counterfeit hardware modules It is virtually impossible detect a fake from a real factory module Bolted-on cyber protection cannot defend against this but deeply embedded module hardware firmware and software authentication built upon very strong encryption can identify and reject even sophisticated fakes instantly disallowing the counter-feit module from booting compromising software

Digging deeperSecurity begins with the modular components of the system

The first requirement is a secure boot No unauthorized party should be able to tamper with the software while the processor is starting up ndash protection that cannot be just bolted-on A secure boot starts with an initial phase loaded from on chip-masked ROM so it must be built into the microprocessor silicon Numerical crypto keys that authenticate decrypt load and start additional levels of encrypted software would be stored in this secure memory A secure ICS must be able to start up and decay in a secure state Intentional or unintentional power cycling must not degrade the level of cyber protection and cyber security Secure boot of every system-wide microprocessor is essential to meet this requirement

Going longICS modules must be designed for a service life of many years

often decades Because of Moorersquos Law the strength of encryption methods degrades over time so a modern secure ICS design must use the strongest encryption available today

Encryption fundamentalsThere are two basic methods for encryption symmetric

encryption also known as secret key encryption and asymmetric encryption also known as public key encryption Symmetric encryption requires that both parties share a secret key that can be compromised on even the most tightly coupled networks while asymmetric encryption uses a public key and a private (or secret) key pair The public key can be shared and accessed without com-promising the private key and message The private key provides the means to create digital signatures which can only be verified with the associated public key Digital signatures then provide the means by which other entities can verify the integrity and authen-ticity of data sent with a particular private key

A secure ICS uses a combination of the two methods depend-ing on many factors Importantly every individual system module and digital component requires private key(s) Security depends upon keeping the private keys secret This can only be achieved if the key protection is deeply embedded and built into the hard-

ware and digital component technology All this imposes further requirements on the processor silicon It must not only support a secure method to store private keys but also be able to perform the required encryption and decryption calculations Hardware mathematical acceleration is required to ensure that built-in secu-rity does not degrade the primary objective of an ICS to perform real-time process control and monitoring

Random numbers High quality random numbers are fundamental to modern

cryptography They are used in real time to generate symmetric keys or as an initialization vector for an authentication protocol An example is a nonce an arbitrary single use number used in authentication to prevent the reuse of older communications a vulnerability known as a replay attack There are two types of random number generators pseudo random and true random Pseudo random numbers (PRNG) are mathematically generated in software while true random numbers (TRNG) also called entropy engines are hardware based and far less vulnerable to discovery The strength of the system security can be directly correlated to the quality of the randomness of the numbers A secure ICS should be built with every microprocessor having its own advanced hardware based TRNG

Operating systems and cyber securityOne of the more important technology selections in a se-

cure-by-design system is the operating system A general purpose operating system (OS) manages a computerrsquos basic functions and provides services to other applications running on the computer An RTOS (real time operating system) provides more determinis-tic event driven scheduling of computer resources An ICS will use an RTOS in the control IO and network computers and a general purpose OS in the workstation application computers (Figure 2)

Operating system cyber vulnerabilities are many and can wreak havoc on system security because they directly affect all aspects of the hardware computing engines While Windowstrade and Linux dominate the OS market there are actually more than 50 commercially available RTOSs and choosing the right one will have a significant impact on the cyber strength of control IO and network computing The operating system must have the inherent architecture to support integrated and validated middleware secure communication stacks network security protocols and em-bedded encryption libraries for safety and security applications

In Bedrock Automationrsquos patented OSAtrade secure architecture for example backplane power paths are parallel redundant and channel independent for every slot versus a typical ICS serial multi-drop power bus Each OSAtrade power path to each slot is in-dividually monitored and controlled by the Secure Power Module and Controller A user can shut off the power to a single slot if required and the system does it automatically if the slot is empty

Success metrics One metric test that can help determine if the OS is robust

enough for intrinsic cyber security protection is Evaluation

Assurance Level (EAL1 through EAL7) EAL is a numerical grade assigned following the completion of a Common Criteria security evaluation an international standard of security testing in effect since 1999 An increasing assurance level denotes increased assurance requirements required to achieve Common Criteria certification and to provide higher confidence that the systemrsquos security features are reliably implemented

Conclusion Achieving a modern secure by design automation platform is a

complex challenge but when properly designed and executed the resulting system cyber security is not only more effective but can be much simpler for users and easier to implement than the bolt-ed-on status quo at significantly lower security lifecycle costshellipand when simplicity reigns security wins

Can Devices be Secured in the Internet of Things

by Dinyar Dastoor Wind River VP and GM of Operating Systems

Securing the Point of Interaction Device security in the Internet of Things is of paramount

importance After all devices are the ldquothingsrdquo in IoT that actually perform the system function and generate the data the system relies on They are often the points at which humans interact with the system Securing devices is particularly problematic because they are vulnerable to both physical tampering and network-borne threats

The consequences of a compromise can be severe Large-scale consumer identity theft can destroy a commercial enterprisersquos reputation and credibility A breach of a process controller on an industrial shop floor can cause costly downtime and safety hazards And in the case of networked medical devices a breach can put lives at risk

When a large-scale breach of devices occurs it is typically not the result of a single point of failure but a series of failures at multiple points of vulnerability Closing the gap at any one of those

points can go a long way toward preventing a breach altogether or at least detecting an attack in progress and limiting the damage

Developers need to address security at the device design phase which requires identifying those potential vulnerabilities based on how and where the device will be used There are a number of security measures device manufacturers can take The challenge is determining how much or how little security is needed and which measures will be most effective

Designing for ldquoJust Enoughrdquo Security Designing security into devices for IoT applications poses dif-

ferent challenges from securing enterprise software or networks Embedded devices generally have a small footprint and comput-ing resources are limited Too much security functionality can hinder the performance of the device or the system and increase the overall cost of development Yet too little can leave critical points unprotected The trick is building ldquojust enoughrdquo security to mitigate a breachmdashand the challenge for developers is figuring

out how much is ldquojust enoughrdquo (see Figure 1)

The answer depends on three key criteria

1 The environment in which the device will be deployed Is the device in a shopping mall visible to thousands of people and at risk of tampering Or is it behind locked doors in a secure facility These contrasting scenarios raise different types of security considerations

2 How the device will connect and communicate How is the device connected to a network Will it communicate over the air via a protocol such as ZigBee or Wi-Fi which may necessitate some form of encryption Is it behind a firewall

Security breaches at the device operating system level in the Internet of Things (IoT) can have severe consequences including steep financial losses damage to credibility and trust or even endangerment of human life Several high-profile data compromises illus-trate that large-scale breaches typically result from not one but multiple points of failure Closing any one of these gaps can help mitigate a breach or at least minimize the damage

Figure 1 Three criteria for designing ldquojust enoughrdquo security



Is it connected to the public Internet or to a private intranet where it would be less vulnerable to outside interference

3 The type of data the device is storing Is the device collecting sensitive data such as personal financial or medical infor-mation Or is it capturing less-sensitive information such as weather conditions The latter case would likely require a lower level of security than the former

The answers to these questions will help you determine the security features you need to integrate into the devicersquos operating system to ensure the appropriate level of security To give yourself optimal flexibility it is helpful to use a real-time operating system that does not lock you into a set of prescribed security functions but instead gives a menu of security functionality from which you can choose the features you need

The Four Pillars of Device Security In addition to addressing these three key criteria for deter-

mining the right level of security developers need to account for security at each phase of the device lifecycle (see Figure 2)

bull Design At the inception itrsquos critical to prevent the intro-duction of malicious code during the development process Prevention measures might include signed binary delivery assuring the authenticity and non-alteration of code and developing on a software platform that has been certified

under industrial security standards such as IEC 62443 and IEC 27034

bull Execute In the execution phase the goal is to establish a ldquoroot of trustrdquo to prevent untrusted binaries from running which in turn ensures that the right software is in place on the right hardware and that they trust each other Establishing a root of trust might entail the use of secure boot technology and cryptographic key signatures to prevent unsigned code from executing

bull Operate Multiple measures can be deployed to prevent mali-cious attacks in operation mode including controls to prevent unauthorized access and securing networks using encryption

bull Power down When the device is at rest measures such as encrypted storage and secure data containers should be in place to prevent onboard data access

A Scalable Approach to Device SecuritySecurity does not always require preventive measures at every

point of vulnerability Often it makes sense to start with a few measures to secure the device for deployment then add security functionality as you progress through the device lifecycle You can achieve this with an operating system that allows you to scale and add features over time as new threats become apparent

Security Profile for VxWorksreg is an example of a technology that allows this type of scalable approach Security Profile provides a set of security capabilities designed for easy integration into the

core VxWorks real-time operating system As shown in Figure 3 the profile enhances the VxWorks

Core Platform with features that address each of the four pillars of security across the device lifecycle typical of any type of networked device (the same vulnerabilities exposed in the retail breach case study)

With Security Profile developers can select the security features they need based on their design criteria deployment environment communication and connectivity and sensitivity of data stored It enables them to implement blocking features at various levels to make it more difficult to break through security and breach the device And it gives them the flexibility to add security functionality over time

Conclusion Security of devices has to be a prime

concern of IoT system developers and device manufacturers and needs to be addressed at the design stage Building se-curity into devices poses unique challeng-esmdashdevices require ldquojust enoughrdquo security to mitigate intrusions without compromis-ing device performance

Experience shows that attacks on devices typically exploit multiple points of vulnerability Closing even a few of these gaps can mitigate the damage

Fortunately technology such as Security Profile allows developers to take a scalable approach to security adding as much or as little as the device requires for its purpos-es making it possible to control costs and deliver devices on schedule while reducing the risks of security breaches
