OK Labs Introduces New SDK for OKL4 Microvisor

December 01, 2011

Tool Kit Adds Software Components and Capabilities to OKL4 Mobile/Embedded Virtualization Platform

Chicago – December 1, 2011 - Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs), provider of embedded virtualization software for mobile and connected devices, today announced general availability of a new OKL4 Microvisor Software Development Kit (SDK version 4.3). The SDK builds on the industry-leading OKL4 Microvisor for mobile and embedded applications, adding new off-the-shelf board support, key software components, and reference implementations.
 
This rich mix of SDK capabilities enables independent development and accelerates the efforts of device manufacturers (OEMs), integrators and other developers in bringing new OKL4-based products to market. The SDK targets developers of smartphones, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVI) and other intelligent connected devices – deploying OKL4 in these devices offers greater architectural flexibility, improves margins and enhances device security for end-users.

SDK Capabilities and Features

  • Version 4.3 of the OKL4 Microvisor Software Development Kit includes:
  • The OKL4 Microvisor for processors built on ARM Cortex™ A8 and ARM Cortex™ A9
  • OK:Linux – a ready-to-deploy, paravirtualized Linux kernel (2.6.38) for use with the OKL4 Microvisor
  • OK:C – an efficient C library execution environment for use in lightweight OKL4 Secure Hypercells running on the OKL4 Microvisor
  • Off the shelf support for the TI OMAP3-based BeagleBoard and TI OMAP4-based PandaBoard
  • An Android reference implementation for OK:Linux on the PandaBoard
  • Libraries for creating OKL4-based client/server systems integrating multiple secure cells
  • OK Labs OKL4 Solutions

The new OKL4 Microvisor SDK provides the foundation for OK Labs SecureIT Mobile Communications, SecureIT Mobile Applications, and OKL4 for In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems. OK Labs also complements the off-the-shelf SDK with a range of Consulting and Engineering services. Contact OK Labs or an OK Labs Qualified System Integrator for more information on the OKL4 SDK and Consulting and Engineering Services.
