Lynx Software Technologies (Formerly Lynuxworks)

For over 30 years, Lynx Software Technologies has enabled designs in security and safety critical markets including aviation/avionics, transportation, medical and defense systems. The LynxOS-178 RTOS is the first and only COTS operating system to receive acceptance for reusability from the FAA for DO-178B/C certification. LYNX MOSA.ic (TM) enables developers to architect and design modular embedded systems to leverage the reuse of existing code, third-party commercial solutions and open-source applications seamlessly, across various platforms. Lynx Software Technologies is active in many of the industry committees and groups that shape and maintain standards—such as OMG (Object Management Group), Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium, power.org, and eclipse.org. This ensures that their customers’ needs are met by the standards they support, keeping their open systems current as standards evolve. For their avionics customers, they adhere to the ARINC 653 standard, and they offer a MILS-based separation kernel for their customers demanding the highest levels of security. They utilize the industry-standard Eclipse framework and the open-source projects such as CDT to provide an enterprise-strength open development environment. This commitment to openness extends to their customer relationships as well. They provide customers with access to source code and engineering resources, as well as the opportunity to participate in discussions of their product direction through their Customer Advisory Board.
