LYNX MOSA.ic

LYNX MOSA.ic™ is a software development framework for building, comprehensible software systems from independent application modules, delivering the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) vision. It enables developers to collapse existing development cycles to create, certify, and deploy robust, secure, mission-critical platforms. It achieves this by giving developers deeper insight. On a traditional RTOS platform, all hardware control, real-time scheduling, security, multi-media, and application services are integrated into a common stack, servicing all applications on all CPU cores, LYNX MOSA.ic allows system architects to subdivide systems into smaller independent stacks which include only the runtime dependencies needed per application. The benefits of stack separation yield high program values through the reduction of software complexity including: • Promoting comprehensible traceable architectures • Improved formalism of system composition to aid security and safety analysis • Reducing time to debug • Increasing the speed of system integration This approach greatly reduces development costs while the critical aspects of safety and security are robustly supported at the CPU control level. LYNX MOSA.ic is the foundational software technology at the core of several safety-critical platforms. One specific customer has stated that our architecture saved them hundreds of thousands of lines of code and tens of millions of dollars in certification costs.
