VxWorks Now Supports AMD’s Embedded G and R-Series CPUs

VxWorks has always been the first choice of RTOS for serious embedded developers – not in small part because of its broad processor support.  Now embedded developers looking for great graphics in combination with low power can use VxWorks supporting AMD’s embedded G and R-Series microprocessors.

Embedded developers looking to use either of these processors can begin VxWorks development immediately with the VxWorks’ off-the-shelf board support package (BSP) for the AMD Steppe Eagle board.

The AMD Embedded G and R-Series SOC deliver great processing performance via a sophisticated SOC architecture that integrates up to 4 of AMD’s latest high-performance “Excavator” x86 CPU cores with the latest AMD Radeon™ graphics and an I/O controller on a single die.  This is great for VxWorks’ applications targeting areas such as industrial control, aerospace and defense and others.

Please visit Wind River Marketplace for more details and to download the VxWorks 7 AMD G and R-Series BSP.
