PERC Ultra5.1 supports LynxOS

Aonix, the provider of the PERC product line for embedded and real-time Java developers, announced the release of PERC Ultra 5.1 cross development and target support on the LynuxWorks LynxOS Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). The port, already in use by Aonix and LynuxWorks joint customers in the military and aerospace market, is being deployed in high-availability and mission-critical programs. With the integration of the PERC Ultra 5.1 into LynxOS, customers will be able to take advantage of the latest features in both products. PERC Ultra 5.1 has improved performance and security capabilities. Included with the integration of the products, PERC Ultra 5.1 sets the name of each LynxOS thread to match the corresponding Java thread name for thread-aware tools, such as the LynuxWorks SpyKer Embedded System Trace tool. Such integration simplifies development and keeps projects on schedule.

 With its patented garbage collection technology, PERC Ultra 5.1 has been engineered to deliver deterministic behavior and customer-reported five nines uptime making it the solution of choice for real-time embedded systems. PERC currently boasts the largest number of deployments for any commercial real-time virtual machine, numbering in close to one million fielded systems with applications spanning market segments such as aerospace, defense, telecommunications, industrial automation, and robotics.

 PERC Ultra 5.1 targeting Power Architectures on LynxOS 4.2 is immediately available. Support for LynxOS 5.0 is possible based on customer demand. PERC development tools are available at no charge in combination with a maintenance contract. Target execution and deployment license pricing starts at $25K based on projected volume. PERC Ultra is also available with special bundling discounts when licensed together with PERC Pico.
