Embedded OS from single-core exclusive to multi-core/multi-OS!
MULCOS-2 is a bare-metal hypervisor that utilizes ARM(R) TrustZone(R) technology, providing a multi-OS operating environment along with inter-OS synchronous communication capabilities, and is compatible with both single-core and multi-core systems. In a quad-core setup, it can implement up to four RTOS in the secure space and one to four cores running a single Linux in the non-secure space, and it can also implement both RTOS and Linux on a single core. The synchronous communication features include four functionalities: message queues, semaphores, event flags, and shared memory (the shared memory feature will be supported in the next version).

Company information
Based on the technology cultivated through the development of embedded OS kernels, we are actively engaged in the development of software that utilizes multi-core processors. By providing software and platforms that support multi-core, we aim to support Japan's manufacturing industry. As the first step, we have commercialized software called MULCOS-2, which can build a multi-OS environment implementing real-time operating systems such as ITRON and Linux/Android. Moving forward, we will continue to develop real-time operating systems suitable for a wide range of applications, starting with hypervisors for high-end processors.
