 TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF OUR PARTNERSHIP
For two decades, Curtiss-Wright has worked closely with Wind River® to assure our COTS boards and embedded
computing subsystems take full advantage of the capabilities provided by VxWorks®, VxWorks® 653, Wind River® Linux,
and other Wind River operating systems. With Wind River and Curtiss-Wright, customers can take advantage of the
processing power of ARM®, Intel®, NXP® Power Architecture®, and FPGAs in industry standard VPX, OpenVPX, VME,
PMC, XMC, and custom form factors to get their program started quickly.

The Curtiss-Wright / Wind River partnership advantage:

Optimized VxWorks support is standard for a broad selection of Curtiss-Wright boards and systems.

Solutions are available for use in rugged aerospace and defense applications.

For DO-254/DO-178 avionics applications, Curtiss-Wright’s safety certifiable COTS graphics, I/O and
Single Board Computer Modules provide the reduced cost and development risk benefits of COTS
electronics.

Combining Curtiss-Wright safety certifiable hardware with Wind River VxWorks 653’s robust time-
and-space safety partitioning and virtualization enables system integrators to qualify their mission-
critical avionics systems with lower risk, lower development costs and faster build cycles.

* Curtiss-Wright has partnered with Wind River to provide an off-the shelf VxWorks 653 BSP for the VPX3-
133 as the first step towards a certifiable solution. The NXP Power Architecture T2080 based VPX3-133 was
followed by the DO-254 DAL-A VPX3-152 with available artifacts from Curtiss-Wright. Customers can buy a
VxWorks 653 BSP from Curtiss-Wright to start their program and then contact Wind River for customization and
certification when the time is right.
