What do you like best about LynxOS®-178 RTOS?

It helps us to reduce software crashes due to its real-time processing and memory management. As it has multithreading functionality and a scheduling algorithm. It also has functionality for microprocessor and microcontroller which help any application running on it to process thread real-time without any fail. On the other hand, if we compare it with other linux based systems it's faster and more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LynxOS®-178 RTOS?

The best thing about this is it's pretty fast as compared to other RTOS. it's more secure than Linux. As we know it's a real-time Operating System it comes with memory scheduling algorithms and real-time processing of threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LynxOS®-178 RTOS?

none as such but there are a few we have to keep in mind before implementing. It has a low cache and buffers memory if we are going to use it in production we need more amount of memory as compared to other OS which is available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LynxOS®-178 RTOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previously we are using other real-time OS for our application we are facing issues like sometimes application crashes, and sometimes we are facing issues like the system not responding due to which our production gets hampered and we are losing customers. But after that, we switch to LynxOS-178 RTOS which overcomes our problems like application crashes because it comes with auto scheduler for memory management.

It has powerful performance and optimized operational packages to develop the software application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LynxOS®-178 RTOS?

I wouldn't say I like it does not support all packages for memory optimization, which is highly required in all processor-based products. It is not supporting support the interrupt-driven firmware development in IoT-based products. It does not have multicore cache memory optimization. its client service is also wrong.
