Wind River opened its Wind River Labs on Feb.25, which is a developer-focused site where users can access software projects, proofs-of-concept, open-source integrations, experimental software, and new technologies. The site includes the first freely available VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS) software developer kit (SDK) for the developer community.
Wind River Labs is reported to be an environment where developers, both Wind River customers and non-customers, can collaborate to innovate at the edge, enabling capabilities, such as machine learning and computer vision. This includes interacting with the software engineers, who created the projects, other software engineers tackling similar challenges, and Wind River ecosystem members exploring new markets and forward-looking designs.
The available VxWorks SDK includes an open-source board support package for Raspberry Pi and UP Squared hardware. Developers can download the latest version of VxWorks, along with projects such as Robot Operating System (ROS) 2, and immediately start prototyping and designing applications on the company’s industry-leading operating systems.
Other featured Wind River Labs projects include:
-
TensorFlow for Wind River Linux;
-
OpenCV for VxWorks;
-
Microsoft Azure IoT SDK for VxWorks;
-
AWS IoT Device SDK for VxWorks;
-
Google Cloud IoT Core SDK for VxWorks;
-
Google Test support for VxWorks; and
-
OpenAMP for VxWorks Remote Compute
“With the amount of software content proliferating, and autonomous and intelligent systems significantly growing in relevance, driving collaborative innovation is more important than ever,” says Gareth Noyes, chief strategy officer, Wind River. “Wind River Labs gives developers early access to cutting edge software projects, and allows the sharing of ideas through working code, examples, and recipes for technologies and community projects.”
