RTOS Training

This new course features five full days of hands-on labs, programming with POSIX®, and device-driver development for LynxOS® and LynxOS-178 real-time systems.

LynxOS®-178 for systems certifiable to DO-178B/C level A is the only RTOS accepted by the FAA as a Reusable Software Component (RSC).

For the hands-on labs, students choose between Windows® and Linux® (RHE4) host systems, as desired. LynxOS version 5.0, LynxOS-SE version 5.0 (Linux only), and LynxOS-178 2.3 are all at students’ disposal.

Who Should Attend?

Developers of safety-critical applications for aviation, military, and related systems.
