Summary of VXWORKS ON ZYNQ ULTRASCALE+ MPSOC
iWave Systems announced VxWorks 21.03 BSP support for its iW-RainboW-G30M System on Module, based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU4/5/7. The port enables VxWorks real-time capabilities on the module, providing high-speed interfaces, scalability, safety, and reliability for mission-critical applications by combining deterministic RTOS behavior with the MPSoC’s heterogeneous processing and hardware-accelerated performance.
Parts used in the iW-RainboW-G30M Project:
- iW-RainboW-G30M System on Module
- Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU4
- Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU5
- Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZU7
- VxWorks 21.03 Board Support Package (BSP)
- High-speed interfaces (integrated on module)
iWave Systems is pleased to inform about the VxWorks BSP release for its XILINX UltraScale+ MPSoC System on Modules. VxWorks 21.03 has now been ported on the iW-RainboW-G30M system on module, which is powered by the ZU 4/5/7 MPSoC.
VxWorks is Industry’s leading real-time operating system for building embedded devices& systems.
The ZU 4/5/7 System on module, integrated with high-speed interfaces when built with VxWorks BSP, ensures the scalability, safety, and reliability required for mission critical applications.
The Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC series provide 64-bit processor scalability while combining real-time control with soft and hard engines for graphics, video, waveform, and packet processing. These Adaptive SoCs complement the decade long availability of soft-core CPU’s and other soft IP for building system on FPGAs. Adaptive SoCs then are particularly useful when high performance is required for a portion of an algorithm that can be implemented in hardware using parallel or pipelined (or a combination) techniques.
Why VxWorks on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
The combination of VxWorks on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC provides the foundation for secure high-speed high-performance computing application. Highlighted below are the key features of VxWorks and UltraScale+ MPSoC, together which power devices across verticals.
VxWorks is ideal for hard real-time embedded applications because it is a deterministic, priority based, pre-emptive RTOS with low latency and minimal jitter, with a few feature highlights as below:
