Vector now offers a new embedded operating system for multi-core processors, called MICROSAR OS Multi-Core. This is an efficient and robust operating system for automotive applications on multi-core processors. It enables independent execution of the application software on multiple processor cores. To accomplish this, the operating system utilizes synchronization methods and coordinated access to common resources.
MICROSAR OS Multi-Core extends the proven operating system family from Vector and conforms to the AUTOSAR standard. The concept of static configuration results in a compact and very fast kernel of MICROSAR OS Multi-Core. Therefore, this operating system is optimal for embedded applications. If required, it can be extended by memory protection or execution time protection.
The operating system services provide the interfaces known from OSEK/VDX and AUTOSAR. For this reason the incorporation effort of automotive ECU developers is very low.
MICROSAR OS Multi-Core is now available and has been successfully implemented in early projects.
