Virtualization Added To Medical OS Platform

July 27, 2009

The Platform for Medical Devices from Green Hills Software now incorporates Secure Guest OS Virtualization support for the Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS). It’s designed to reduce the cost and risk for Class II and Class III medical product approval, premarket notification for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 510(k), or the more stringent Premarket Approval (PMA) process. This version also has suport for Texas Instruments’ OMAP3 and ARM’s Cortex A8 plus wireless supplicant support (WPA/WPA2), a partitionable journaling file system (PJFS), enhanced wear leveling for flash file systems, an expanded TCP/IP v4/v6 networking stack with security protocol support and networking applications, and an enhanced USB host stack.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
