4Front Technologies' Open Sound System (OSS) v3.9.7 software is now available for LynuxWorks real-time operating system, LynxOS 4.0

The solution is the first integration of audio capabilities to LynxOS, further enhancing the feature set available to customers designing mission-critical embedded applications in a real-time environment. The OSS solution will provide 100% compatibility for all Linux audio applications running on the LynxOS 4.0 operating system, offering developers the ability to integrate audio record and playback capabilities into new telematics applications for such devices as PDAs, medical instrumentation, and technologies for automotive use.

OSS provides LynxOS with device drivers for popular audio chipsets and sound cards, including automatic sound card detection, Plug-n-Play support, support for PCI audio soundcards and support for full duplex audio.

The LynxOS with OSS solution also complies with the Open Sound System API specifications, enabling quick prototyping and development of applications for new embedded products.

"4Front's OSS brings a new dimension to real-time operating systems - audio support - that gives our customers a new and important edge in design and development of new technologies using LynxOS", said Greg Rose, director of product management at LynuxWorks.

"This agreement will also allow us to penetrate new markets that require a sound-supported RTOS".

"OSS has been a major player in bringing sound to the development environment, and we are pleased to be partnering with LynuxWorks' over 13 years of embedded experience", said 4Front spokesperson, Dev Mazumdar.

"Our support of over 250 brand name sound cards ensures that developers using LynxOS will be able to reap the benefits of sound capabilities with minimum cost and effort.

With hundreds of Open Source and proprietary audio applications for Open Sound System, LynxOS customers can implement audio solutions for a broad range of LynxOS based products either with native support or through Linux binary compatibility".
