First Linux-compatible RTOS
for ARM processors
The LynxOS v4 real-time operating system is now available for the ARM architecture
The solution delivers for the first time a Linux-compatible RTOS for the ARMv4T and ARMv5TE architecture-compliant processors, as well as unparalleled hard real-time response, reliability and determinism. LynxOS v4 provides true application binary interface (ABI) compatibility to Linux, allowing users to run Linux applications unmodified under LynxOS or augment real-time applications on LynxOS with applications from Linux, eliminating the need to build applications from scratch.
