Green Hills adds secure virtualization for NXP i.MX 8 and 8X processor families

Green Hills Software has announced the availability of its INTEGRITY Multivisor secure virtualization for the NXP Semiconductors i.MX 8 and 8X families of applications processors.For the first time, manufacturers of critical automotive and industrial systems will now be able to confidently run consumer operating systems in secure partitions alongside critical software applications on the same i.MX 8 processor, due to the certified separation architecture of the INTEGRITY real-time operating system and its Multivisor secure virtualization technology.Being able to consolidate Linux, Android and AUTOSAR with critical software on the same i.MX 8-based platform, manufacturers will be able to design a scalable mixed-criticality platform from which to build solutions targeting low, mid and high-end feature sets. In addition, the consolidated platform reduces hardware costs and simplifies software complexity.
