Summary of VXWORKS ON ZYNQ ULTRASCALE+ MPSOC
The article announces the release of the VxWorks 21.03 Board Support Package (BSP) for iWave Systems' XILINX UltraScale+ MPSoC system on modules, specifically the iW-RainboW-G30M powered by the ZU 4/5/7 MPSoC. VxWorks, a leading real-time operating system, brings scalability, safety, and reliability to mission-critical applications by harnessing the adaptive hardware capabilities of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. This combination is ideal for secure, high-speed embedded computing needing deterministic real-time performance and hardware acceleration.
Parts used in the iW-RainboW-G30M Project:
- iW-RainboW-G30M system on module
- XILINX Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC (ZU 4/5/7 variants)
- VxWorks 21.03 Board Support Package (BSP)
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:
