ETAS and Lynx Software Technologies collaborate to deliver safe and secure platform technology to support the needs of next generation connected and autonomous vehicles The RTA-BSW AUTOSAR software from ETAS, Embedded Security by ESCRYPT, and the LynxSecure Separation Kernel Hypervisor from Lynx bring the best of the safety and security worlds together for the automotive industry. The next generation of connected and autonomous vehicles requires powerful domain controllers/vehicle computers (DC/VC ECUs) to be introduced into the EE architecture. The DC/VC ECUs will use powerful microprocessors with richer, more adaptive software platforms – but they still have challenging safety, security, and real-time requirements; AND, they must also integrate with the classic platforms. The solution offered by bringing together ETAS, ESCRYPT, and Lynx offers the trusted safety and secure software foundation required by DC/VC ECUs. Stuttgart, March 14, 2017 – ETAS and Lynx Software Technologies unveiled a new collaboration that brings the automotive safety-critical world together with the highest levels of security to meet the demanding needs of the next generation of connected and autonomous high performance automotive systems. The embedded world Exhibition&Conference in [...]

Demonstrates LynxSecure for the Xilinx UltraScale+ at Embedded World 2017 Combined hardware/software & safety/ security platform on display Lynx Software Technologies and Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) are announcing the demonstration of the LynxSecure Separation Kernel hypervisor on the Xilinx ® Zynq ® Ultrascale+ ™ MPSoC at Embedded World. This first view of LynxSecure on an ARM ® processor will be shown on the Lynx Booth (Hall 4-423), and marks a significant milestone for designers of ARM-based automotive, avionics, industrial and medical devices Robert Day, vice president of marketing at Lynx, commented, “ARM designers are now able to run safety critical environments alongside a general purpose OS like Linux or LynxOS RTOS on the same Xilinx processor without compromising safety, security or real-time performance. Use cases include automotive systems based on environments such as AUTOSAR RTA-BSW from ETAS and avionics designs using LynxOS-178 RTOS from Lynx. Designers can match the security of air-gap hardware partitioning without incurring the cost, power and size overhead of separate hardware.” Simon George, Director, Product Marketing – Embedded Software at Xilinx, added, “The combination of LynxSecure and Xilinx Zynq [...]

Key security technology, LynxSecure, is also highlighted in the latest Forrester Tech Radar IoT Security Report 2017 San Francisco, California, 13th February 2017 – Lynx Software Technologies, with its world leading separation kernel hypervisor will be exhibiting IT and IoT security solutions for the 7th consecutive year at the RSA Conference in San Francisco from February 13th – 16th 2017 (Booth 618, South Hall).
