VxWorks comes with the kernel, [[middleware]], board support packages, Wind River Workbench development suite, complementary third-party software and hardware. In its latest release, VxWorks 7, the RTOS has been re-engineered for modularity and upgradeability so the OS kernel is separate from middleware, applications, and other packages.<ref name="iTERS">[http://itersnews.com/?p=70622 Wind River] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204101757/http://itersnews.com/?p=70622 |date=December 4, 2022 }} reinvents real-time system for the Internet of Things, iTERS news, March 2014</ref> Scalability, security, safety, connectivity, and graphics have been improved to address [[Internet of Things]] (IOT) needs.<ref name="MSSC">{{cite web |url=http://www.harmonicss.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/43-news-vxworks/88-vxworks-7-announced |title=VxWorks 7 Announced |work=harmonicss.co.uk |year=2014 |access-date=June 20, 2014 |archive-date=July 4, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140704044303/http://harmonicss.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/43-news-vxworks/88-vxworks-7-announced |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="msscwb">Wind River [http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140226005964/en/Wind-River-Reinvents-Real-Time-Operating-System-Internet#.U6bpVPk-fBo Reinvents] the RTOS for the IoT, Business Wire, February 2014</ref><ref name="joab1">{{cite web |url=http://www.itworld.com/open-source/407290/wind-river-outfits-vxworks-internet-things |title=Wind River outfits VxWorks for 'Internet of things' &#124; ITworld |first=Joab |last=Jackson |work=itworld.com |year=2014 |access-date=June 20, 2014 |archive-date=March 11, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311030503/http://www.itworld.com/open-source/407290/wind-river-outfits-vxworks-internet-things |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==History==
VxWorks started in the late 1980s as a set of enhancements to a simple [[RTOS]] called [[Versatile Real-Time Executive|VRTX]]<ref name="netrino-glossary-v">{{cite web|title=Embedded Systems Glossary: V|url=http://www.netrino.com/Embedded-Systems/Glossary-V|work=www.netrino.com|date=November 30, 2007 |publisher=Netrino, LLC|access-date=September 20, 2010}}</ref> sold by Ready Systems (becoming a [[Mentor Graphics]] product in 1995).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.secinfo.com/dr6nd.9u.htm#5hg |title=SEC filing |publisher=Secinfo.com |date=January 19, 1996 |access-date=2011-11-18}}</ref> Wind River acquired rights to distribute VRTX and significantly enhanced it by adding, among other things, a [[file system]] and an [[integrated development environment]]. In 1987, anticipating the termination of its reseller contract by [[Ready Systems]], Wind River proceeded to develop its own kernel to replace VRTX within VxWorks.<ref>[https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/6.09/wind_pr.html Lord of the Toasters], [[Wired (magazine)]] interview with Jerry Fiddler, September 1998</ref>

==Platform overview==
VxWorks supports Intel architecture, Power architecture, and ARM architectures. The RTOS can be used in multi-core [[asymmetric multiprocessing]] (AMP), [[symmetric multiprocessing]] (SMP), mixed modes<ref name="star"/> and multi-OS (via Type 1 hypervisor)<ref name="virt"/> designs on 32- and 64- bit processors.

The VxWorks consists of a set of runtime components and development tools. The run time components are an [[operating system]] (UP and SMP; 32- and 64-bit), software for applications support (file system, core network stack, USB stack, and inter-process communications), and hardware support (architecture adapter, processor support [[Library (computing)|library]], device driver library, and board support packages).<ref name="star"/> VxWorks core development tools are compilers such as Diab, [[GNU]], and [[Intel C++ Compiler]] (ICC) and its build and configuration tools. The system also includes productivity tools such as its Workbench development suite and Intel tools and development support tools for asset tracking and host support.<ref name="star"/>

The platform is a modular, vendor-neutral, [[Open system (computing)|open system]] that supports a range of third-party software and hardware. The OS kernel is separate from middleware, applications, and other packages,<ref name="msscwb"/> which enables easier bug fixes and testing of new features.<ref name="joab2"/> An implementation of a layered source build system allows multiple versions of any stack to be installed at the same time so developers can select which version of any feature set should go into the VxWorks kernel libraries.

Optional advanced add-ons for VxWorks provide additional capabilities, including the following:
* Advanced security features to safeguard devices and data residing in and traveling across the Internet of Things (IoT)
* Advanced safety partitioning to enable reliable application consolidation
* Real-time advanced visual edge analytics allow autonomous responses on VxWorks-based devices in real-time without latency
* Optimized embedded Java runtime engine enabling the deployment of Java applications
* Virtualization capability with a real-time embedded, Type 1 hypervisor

==Hardware support==
VxWorks has been ported to a number of platforms. This includes the [[Intel x86]] family (including the [[Intel Quark]] SoC),<ref name="quark">Intel Tackles SoC With [http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1319726 Quark]"' EE Times,  October 7, 2013</ref> [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], [[PowerPC]] (and [[BAE Systems Electronics, Intelligence & Support|BAE]] RAD), [[Freescale ColdFire]], [[Intel i960]], [[SPARC]], [[FR-V|Fujitsu FR-V]], [[SuperH|SH-4]] and the closely related family of [[ARM architecture|ARM]], [[StrongARM]] and [[xScale]] CPUs. VxWorks provides a standard [[board support package]] (BSP) interface between all its supported hardware and the OS. Wind River's BSP developer kit provides a common [[application programming interface]] (API) and a stable environment for real-time operating system development. VxWorks is supported by popular [[Transport Layer Security|SSL/TLS]] libraries such as [[wolfSSL]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wolfssl.com/forums/topic846-how-to-configure-woflssl-for-vxworks-66-build.html|title=how to configure woflssl for vxworks 6.6 build (Page 1) — wolfSSL (formerly CyaSSL) — wolfSSL - Embedded SSL Library|website=www.wolfssl.com|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref>

==Development environment==
As is common in [[embedded system]] development, [[cross compiler|cross-compiling]] is used with VxWorks. Development is done on a "host" system where an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE), including the editor, compiler [[toolchain]], debugger, and [[emulator]] can be used. Software is then compiled to run on the "target" system. This allows the developer to work with powerful development tools while targeting more limited hardware. VxWorks uses the following host environments and target hardware architectures:<ref name="ide">[http://www.windriver.com/products/workbench/ Workbench Product Note]</ref>

;Supported target architectures and processor families
VxWorks supports a range of target architectures including ARM, Intel, Power architecture, RISC-V architecture and more.<ref name=":0" /> For the latest target architecture processors and board support packages, refer to the VxWorks Marketplace<ref>{{cite web|url=https://marketplace.windriver.com/index.php?bsp&on=locate&type=platform | title=Wind River Products}}</ref> or via citation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BSP QUERY TOOL |url=https://bsp.windriver.com/products |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=bsp.windriver.com}}</ref>

Wind River Simics<ref>[[Simics]], Wikipedia</ref><ref>[http://www.windriver.com/products/simics/ Wind River Simics]</ref> is a standalone simulation tool compatible with VxWorks. It simulates the full target system (hardware and software) to create a shared platform for software development. Multiple developers can share a complete virtual system and its entire state, including execution history. Simics enables early and continuous system integration and faster prototyping by utilizing virtual prototypes instead of physical prototypes.<ref>Accelerate Software Development with Wind River [http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/software/simics-simulation-technology-to-accelerate-software-development.html Simics], Intel webpage</ref>
