Wind River Linux

Wind River® Linux is the market-trusted Yocto Project-compatible open-source baseline that provides you with a flowing stream of support, maintenance, and risk mitigation assets designed to deliver quality and peace of mind, so you can concentrate on innovation. Wind River Linux enables you to develop, deploy, and operate robust, reliable, and secure embedded solutions running on a purpose-built Linux operating system.

Wind River Linux delivers vital components for the productization and commercialization of any Internet of Things (IoT) device. This consists of software update capabilities in development and post-deployment, continuous security monitoring and vulnerability protection, IP and export compliance artifacts, and a superior range of high-quality board support packages (BSPs) across a variety of architectures. These advantages create the ultimate starting point for embedded Linux development and innovation while providing long-term peace of mind with support and maintenance for the life of your device.

Wind River Linux has achieved conformance to the latest Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Technical Standard, a standard of The Open Group.  Wind River Linux is the first and only General Purpose Profile (GPP) Operating System Segment (OSS) of any kind to conform to the FACE™ Technical Standard, Edition 3.0.

The FACE Technical Standard is the open avionics standard for making military computing operations more robust, portable, interoperable, and secure. Software conformant with the FACE Technical Standard can be used—and most importantly, easily reused—by suppliers and integrators of avionics systems across different global defense programs and aircraft. By adhering to FACE conformance, Wind River Linux provides an opportunity for manufacturers and military services to effectively reduce procurement expenses, while also steering clear of supplier lock-in risks and challenges.
