The increasing importance of virtualization techniques

The hardware technology of embedded real-time systems has evolved towards very powerful, reliable and cheap multicore platforms. This trend has increased the interest for software architectures in which multiple applications share a multicore platform as an optimal solution for embedded real-time systems. The interest in multicore platforms has been fueled

OneWeb achieves half the size of its constellation with XtratuM hypervisor at the core of its satellites

The increasing importance of time and space partitioning was a key consideration for OneWeb when choosing XtratuM Hypervisor. On October 14th, OneWeb launched its 11th batch of satellites and reached the halfway point of its planned constellation with 358 satellites orbiting. OneWeb is positioning as one of the main Internet providers from space in the
Time and Space partitioning for the next embedded Linux distribution for the space domain

Time and Space partitioning for the next embedded Linux distribution for the space domain

Have you ever wondered about the complexity of the software being used on-board satellites? Which operating systems the on-board computers use? How does the New Space approach change the scenario? Nowadays, Linux is starting to get used in space applications and the availability of this operating system in satellites is becoming a
fentISS colaboration with Selene

XtratuM Hypervisor arrives to the H2020 Project SELENE

Since October 2019, fentISS leads the H2020 project De-RISC, a promising work which is preparing a full hardware-software platform based on RISC-V for the space domain, which can also be used in other markets such as aviation. fentISS’ involvement in De-RISC is being more than acceptable and the consortium has
