At Stand 622 during National Electronics Week, 21st to 22nd April in Birmingham, UK, Lynx Software Technologies is focusing on the security and performance of automotive embedded systems. Lynx will deliver a paper on improving real-time performance and minimising latency in vehicle embedded systems at the inaugural Vehicle Electronics & Embedded Masterclass.

The paper, delivered by Mark Pitchford, Technical Manager, EMEA, looks at the challenges of delivering ADAS and infotainment systems using a certified POSIX conformant development environment. Generic versions of Open Source Linux are not built or designed for in-vehicle use and the lack of hard real-time functionality sees them suffer a from glass-to-glass latency that is neither optimal nor tightly controlled. That is a particular issue for systems designed to affect the real time behaviour of a moving vehicle, such as adaptive cruise control, lane change assistance, and collision avoidance systems. For infotainment systems designers need to be aware of long boot times that can infuriate users.

Scheduled for 3.30pm on Tuesday 21st April, the paper will explore how the use of a POSIX compliant RTOS can address these issues. In particular, it will highlight how purpose designed technology can yield optimal boot times and genuine hard real-time performance, yet retain the clear advantages of Linux-compatible POSIX conformance.

On its stand, Lynx Software Technologies will be showing how its LynxSecure technology can make automotive and other embedded systems secure by design.
