Package puts IA-32
platform to safety-critical use
A new board support package provides a complete, certifiable solution for mil/aero developers seeking to leverage the IA-32 platform
For years, military customers have been eager to build safety critical applications using Intel's IA-32 architecture. However, no BSPs from RTOS suppliers have offered IA-32 support for D0-178B certifiable solutions. LynuxWorks has changed all this by announcing the first BSP that provides a complete, certifiable solution for mil/aero developers seeking to leverage the IA-32 platform.
