In this video, Robin Mitchell of Electropages interviews Rolland Dudemaine, VP of Engineering at eSOL at Embedded World, where they discuss eSOL's products, including eMCOS POSIX and the multi-kernel hypervisor. They also talk about the company's involvement in various consortia, such as the Autoware Foundation and the SOFIE Consortium.
Main Points:
- eMCOS POSIX: eSOL's core product offering is eMCOS, a real-time operating system (RTOS) with a multi-kernel design, which increases parallel execution and reduces interference. eMCOS POSIX is designed for big cores and is meant to work with Linux, providing a POSIX OS interface for quick development and portability.
- eMCOS Hypervisor: The company is announcing a more integrated environment that includes not only the RTOS and tools but also command line tools and other features in a unified way, making it easier for both developers and CI/CD pipelines.
- Autoware Foundation: eSOL was one of the founding members of the Autoware Foundation, which provides an open-source framework for autonomous driving. The framework can be used on eMCOS or Linux and is ideal for prototyping and production.
- Multi-Kernel Design: eMCOS' multi-kernel design provides improved parallelism and reduced interference across cores. This is especially important for safety-critical applications, such as autonomous vehicles, where any failure in one system component should not affect the entire system.
- SOFIE Consortium: eSOL recently joined the Sophie Consortium, which aims to link the software-defined vehicle and the cloud. One use case discussed is the creation of digital twins, which allows for simulation and continuous development and deployment of software for autonomous vehicles.
