Wind River releases VxWorks 6.2 with enhancements

BANGALORE: Wind River Systems has announced the release of Wind River VxWorks 6.2 platform that scales to power a full range of devices, from the smallest handhelds to the most robust network equipment.

Based on Wind River's real-time architecture, which enables customers to transition smoothly into new device designs, Wind River VxWorks 6.2 platform now features innovative enhancements including end-to-end device security, system availability, improved scalability, broader hardware coverage and unprecedented unit, integration and field testing via Wind River's development suite.

VxWorks 6.2 also delivers device-specific configuration technology that enables developers to save time and cost by building their device software solutions with pre-built, pre-integrated components and configurations best suited for the requirements of their target device.

"Next-generation devices are not only more complex than ever before, with the extensive combinations of applications and services they offer, but they are also 'connected,' which adds new parameters and requirements for device manufacturers," said Venkatesh Kumaran, country manager-India, Wind River.

"With every device type having unique requirements for performance, power consumption, footprint or security, one-size device software products do not fit all. VxWorks 6.2 is engineered with Wind River's trusted architecture and offers developers an evolutionary, comprehensive real-time platform for building just the right device software solution easily, with only the necessary components configured in the way a target device requires," he added.
