Called the Wind River Marketplace, the store is said to help customers to find and evaluate add on solutions from the Wind River partner ecosystem.
The apps, said to have been tested and validated by Wind River to ensure compatibility with VxWorks, are intended to enhance VxWorks, with categories ranging from safety and security to graphics and development tools. The Marketplace will also offer board support packages to aid with board bring-up and design.
Dinyar Dastoor, general manager of operating system platforms, said: "Marketplace creates a robust ecosystem offering for our customers, and provides our partners with a unique opportunity to showcase their products and distribute evaluation versions to our vast customer base."
LDRA is one of the first companies to use Marketplace, with its software quality and test tools available on the site. Ian Hennell, operations director for LDRA, said: "Software complexity has risen steeply, introducing greater risks for technology providers; well integrated tools that help companies implement high quality applications that are secure, standards compliant and requirements driven, provide additional assurance that systems are reliable and safe while minimising development costs."
