Green Hills adds to secure RTOS support for Xilinx Zynq

Green Hills Software is supporting secure system development on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC from Xilinx with its Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS) and supporting tools.

Zynq UltraScale+ integrates 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor cores and an FPGA fabric which is being used in applications for automotive intelligence, industrial vision and defence.

The secure RTOS allows software of different levels of criticality to run on the same processor.

The are plans to offer the option of the Integrity Multivisor secure virtualisation extension to run guest operating systems such as Linux and Android alongside real-time critical applications requiring safety and security.

Design support for Zynq also includes the MULTI 64-bit IDE and debugger, record-setting Green Hills C/C++ Optimising Compilers and 64-bit toolchain, profiler.

Multicore run-control and real-time trace debugging with the Green HiIls Probe and SuperTrace Probe utilising CoreSight from ARM.

There is also the Embedded Cryptographic Toolkit with FIPS 140-2 compliant services that secure embedded devices through secure boot, secure data storage, secure networks (SSL, TSL, IPSec, SSH) and digitally signed secure OTA firmware updates.

“Our customers are already using Green Hills solutions for the UltraScale+ MPSoC,” said Simon George, director embedded software marketing at Xilinx. “The complementary strengths of UltraScale+ MPSoC and Integrity are perfect for demanding applications in next-generation ADAS, industrial vision and defence applications.”
