Green Hills Software, the largest independent software vendor for the
Internet of Things (IoT) and an Affiliate member of the Intel Internet
of Things Solutions Alliance, today announced the availability of its
INTEGRITY real-time operating system and
INTEGRITY Multivisor virtualization support for the Intel Atom processor E3800 product family.
Green Hills Software's safety-certified INTEGRITY real-time
operating system with its optional hardware accelerated 3D graphics
support for the Intel Atom processor E3800 product family targets
automotive applications such as reconfigurable digital instrument
clusters, heads-up displays (HUD) and advanced driver assist solutions
(ADAS), providing the ideal combination of blazing graphics performance
from the processor E3800's Gen 7 Intel Graphics Architecture and
unparalleled automotive grade safety.
Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY Multivisor takes advantage
of the hardware virtualization capabilities available on Intel Atom to
enable the world's highest performing multi-domain infotainment and
safety-critical execution environment for next-generation automotive
designs. Shipping since 2003, INTEGRITY Multivisor is the only
virtualization solution built upon safety-certified separation kernel
technology that provides highly assured isolation between cluster, ADAS,
rear-view camera, and other safety-critical automotive subsystems while
simultaneously and safely hosting popular infotainment operating
systems such as Linux and Android, on a single multicore Intel Atom processor.
"Intel In-Vehicle Solutions based on the Intel Atom processor
E3800 family provide the compelling compute platform OEMs require for
the next-generation software-defined vehicle, enabling high performance,
reduced cost through consolidation, connectivity, and a transformative
consumer experience," said Dan Mender, vice president business
development, Green Hills Software. "When combined with INTEGRITY and
INTEGRITY Multivisor, this compute platform delivers unmatched
scalability, safety, and security to the future of vehicle electronics."
"The vehicle's software-defined cockpit presents challenges
and opportunities that demand powerful, flexible, scalable,
cost-effective computing platforms," commented Elliot Garbus, vice
president & general manager, Automotive Solutions Division, Intel.
"Green Hills INTEGRITY and INTEGRITY Multivisor running on Intel's
automotive compute modules enable the vision of secure, reliable,
safety-critical, and open multimedia operation with reduced
total-cost-of-ownership and faster time-to-market."
Developed by Green Hills Software under contract with Intel,
the INTEGRITY solution for products based on the Intel In-Vehicle
Solutions platform leverages the INTEGRITY RTOS' leadership position as
the dominant in-vehicle real-time kernel for instrument cluster and ADAS
systems, and adds the capability to consolidate infotainment and
app-store environments for reduced total system footprint and cost. This
powerful, next-generation automotive architecture also enables OEMs and
Tier 1s to reduce design/integration complexity and time-to-market
while delivering the core foundation for the software-defined vehicle
cockpit.
Key capabilities of Green Hills Software's solution for Intel In-Vehicle Solutions includes:
- Hardware-accelerated 3D graphics running natively on the INTEGRITY real-time operating system
- Integration with industry-leading graphical user interface design tools
- Concurrent sharing of the hardware accelerated 3D graphics between
infotainment guest operating systems and safety-critical graphics
workloads running on INTEGRITY
- Optimized, mature hypervisor support for Intel Virtualization
Technology (Intel VT), including hosting of Linux guest operating
systems on Intel In-Vehicle Solutions software platform
- Green Hills Software's FIPS 140-2 and NSA Suite B cryptographic library optimized for Intel Architecture
- Multicore SMP support - both INTEGRITY and guest operating systems
