LYNX MOSA.ic

LYNX MOSA.ic is a modular software development framework developed by Lynx Software Technologies. The framework allows developers to design and integrate multi-core safety and security systems for industries such as the avionics, industrial, automotive, and UAV/satellite industries.[1]

Operating systemLynxOS-178, Windows, Linux, RTOS

Features

There are three LYNX MOSA.ic bundles used for building secure applications.[2] These bundles include: LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics,[3][4][5] LYNX MOSA.ic for Industrial,[6][7][8] and LYNX MOSA.ic for UAVs/Satellites.[9] These bundles are referred to as the "Mission Critical Edge," as they focus on security.[2] There are differences between these bundles' features, such as LYNX MOSAI.ic for Industrial's support for Azure IoT Edge and Windows 10 and LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics' support for Arm and x86 processor architectures.[10]

LYNX MOSA.ic is built on Lynx Software Technologies' LynxSecure separation kernel hypervisor, which helps isolate applications and manage critical system assets.[11] LYNX MOSA.ic supports LynxOS-178, Linux, Windows, and third-party OS systems.[12] LYNX MOSA.ic also has support for bare metal applications such as Lynx Simple Applications (LSA).[13]

LYNX MOSA.ic's use of multi-core processors supports hardware virtualization.[14] LYNX MOSA.ic's modular structure allows users to isolate computing resources into self-managed independent environments. The platform provides users with development tools for each specific environment's level of complexity.[15] TRACE32 provides JTAG debug support for the independent applications stored in LYNX MOSA.ic's modules.[14]

History

LYNX MOSA.ic was first announced by Lynx Software Technologies in 2019.[16][17] The framework was developed for integration with the U.S. Department of Defense's MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach).[5]

Starting in 2020, LYNX MOSA.ic is being utilized by the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program Office to support the development of upgraded mission system avionics for F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.[18]

In August 2021, Lynx Software Technologies and Advantech announced a collaboration to offer Mission Critical Edge Starter Kits for IT/OT convergence through Lynx LYNX MOSA.ic for Industrial.[6] Lynx also partnered with CODESYS Group to integrate their control automation technology into the LYNX MOSA.ic for Industrial product in August 2021. In July 2021, Lynx also partnered with Collins Aerospace, providing LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics as the foundation for Collins Aerospace's Perigon flight computer.[19][20] Lynx Software Technologies released LYNX MOSA.ic for Industrial on the Microsoft Azure marketplace in 2021.[7]
