COQOS Hypervisor SDK

Why Hypervisor Technology

What is special about OpenSynergy’s hypervisor?

Designed as a low-complexity embedded hypervisor

Runs fast with a light data load

Targets the specific needs of automotive devices

Follows the multi-kernel architecture of the ARMv8 architecture

Takes advantage of the hardware virtualization of the SOC

Relies on a systems supervisor component for safety properties

Complies to ISO 26262:2018 ASIL-B

COQOS Hypervisor is highly configurable so that customers can for example:
  • change the number of VMs
  • assign to physical cores and temporal behavior
  • connect via inter-VM communication channels
  • grant access rights of VMs to devices
  • use it as security features of the hardware

VIRTUALIZATION FOR MORE SAFETY

COQOS Hypervisor has been

  • developed as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC)
  • designed, implemented, and tested compliant with ISO 26262:2018
  • certified up to the level ASIL-B

Why does the Hypervisor platform support VIRTIO?

The COQOS Hypervisor is the core of OpenSynergy’s automotive virtual platform COQOS Hypervisor SDK. This platform supports all existing automotive devices based on the open standard Virtual I/O (VIRTIO). It creates maximum flexibility for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers:

  • to use and re-use guest operating systems on different SoCs, including SoCs produced by different vendors
  • to move software systems across different hypervisors without further modification
  • to enable several software systems to share the GPU power and the various displays available on different ECUs on the cockpit controller
  • to provide availability in all major operating systems due to the ubiquity of VIRTIO in cloud and enterprise virtualization environments

OpenSynergy has developed a variant of its virtualization on real-time microcontrollers.
