Multicore Simplified
The Enea Hypervisor enables system consolidation and greater design freedom by allowing multiple high performance systems on multicore processors.
The Enea Hypervisor is based on OSE micro kernel technology and runs Enea OSE applications at native processor speeds without compromising any real-time critical properties.
It takes as guests Linux Operating System and optionally semiconductor specific executive environments for bare-metal speed packet processing.
The Enea Hypervisor has many advantages:
- Consolidates hardware to reduce bill of materials costs
- Allows for maximum design freedom through operating system and architecture choice
- Maintains investments through legacy software reuse
- Ensures legal compliance by it's GPL separation capabilities
Combining the powers of OSE and Linux
The implementation is ideal for developers who want to take advantage of the proven power, speed and reliability of OSE, while also utilizing the vast ecosystem of third party software available on Linux.
The Enea Hypervisor provides support for guest OS error handling as well as Linux guest application crash analyis. Enea provides out-of-the-box support for standard Kernel.org Linux, as well as commercially supported Linux distributions.
Facilitating modularity and reducing complexity
Communication between Linux and Enea OSE applications is handled by Enea LINX. OSE and Linux applications co-exist in secure domains where common resources are protected.
The intuitive message passing architecture and programming model facilitates modular system design and reduces complexity. This lowers maintenance costs and speeds up time-to-market.
Full Tools support
The Enea Optima tools are fully compatible with Enea Hypervisor, providing build, load, run, debug, and profiling capability at the CPU and system level.
