Lynx Software Technologies

For over 30 years, Lynx Software Technologies (Lynx) has crafted and adapted platform architectures for builders of safety- and/or security-critical systems. Lynx embraced open standards from the beginning, with its original real-time operating system (RTOS), LynxOS®, featuring a UNIX®-like user model and standard POSIX® interfaces to embedded developers. This has been harnessed by companies like Lockheed Martin to simplify the migration of software that needs to be certified from Linux to our real-time operating system, LynxOS-178®. This is certified to the distinguished FAA DO-178C DAL A safety standard and received the first and only FAA Reusable Software Component certificate for an RTOS.  Our deep engagements with the industry led us to realize that standards are just the start of the process when it comes to creating mission critical systems. Read more about our engagement with partners and the US Army around MOSA, as well as our work to be conformant to the latest FACE standard.  LYNX MOSA.ic™ combines Lynx technology, 3rd party operating systems, and application-specific system integrations to support mixed criticality environments. By harnessing the fine-grained CPU virtualization on the newest Arm, PowerPC, and Intel processors, customers can rapidly create, certify and deploy safe, secure, and reliable systems. During 2021, Lynx added Cloud- and Device-based management capabilities to support our customers build "systems of systems". This positions Lynx as the leader in enabling Mission Critical Edge platforms, combining deterministic real-time performance, security and hardware optimizations of traditional embedded software with the DevSecOps advantages enjoyed by IT Infrastructure.
