Cross-OS Hypervisor provides various virtualization interfaces that enable POSIX/Linux, micro-ITRON, Windows, VxWorks, Nucleus and pSOS embedded applications to run natively, consolidated on one host or target OS platform.

1. Overview Datasheet
Cross-OS Hypervisor provides various virtualization interfaces that enable POSIX/Linux, micro-ITRON,
Windows, VxWorks, Nucleus and pSOS embedded applications to run natively, consolidated on one host or
target OS platform as shown below.
Your OS Platform
Cross-OS Hypervisor’s code generator builds a custom virtualization interface package that is optimized
for specific applications and target environments. These interfaces are compiled with the applications
and linked natively for better optimization on your specific target OS platform. The applications can also
run in a simulated host platform for system testing and integration.
Applications can allow sharing of certain individual resources (tasks, timers, queues, etc)
and directly communicate between them using the virtualization interfaces’ shared block memory
manager. This mechanism allows applications to communicate directly and bypass the hardware devices
or network interface layers, as well be tested and integrated under a host environment. Applications can
take full advantage of powerful resources like CPU, memory, drivers, middleware and tools on the host
platform and start testing and integration before the actual target components are available.
Consolidating heterogeneous applications to run under a single OS environment provides many
advantages, including:
• Lower OS, tools and middleware licensing costs
• Reduced hardware requirements such as memory, disk space, etc.
• Better performance by using native OS tools and running natively on the OS without using a
hardware emulator or hypervisor
• Reduced BSP/device driver work as you only need to develop required drivers for one OS
• Applications can also be dedicated to specific CPU core(s) under SMP environment and with pre-
defined resources requirements

2. CROSS OS HYPERVISOR HIGHLIGHTS
• Applications can communicate between each other when running as different process/modules thus
eliminating the overhead associated with OS switching as with other hypervisor solutions
• Virtualization interfaces provide custom generated source code, which is optimized to a specific
application and automatically integrated with the application
• Hosts applications on Cross-OS Hypervisor can be either independent applications running as
separate processes, or grouped as a standalone application as a fully independent process and
dedicated to run on a single core under SMP
• Allows interdependent multiple applications to act as individual processes, which can interact and share
resources which are not marked private
• Allows applications to be broken down into modules (separate processes) with dedicated heap memory
and kernel resources
• Can load other modules dynamically from any module or statically load via command prompt
• Allows you add real-time features on any General Purpose Operating Systems (GPOS) like
Windows/Linux
