Our Smart Displays have a full computer (Intel Xeon) processor inside them along with embedded ARM microprocessors running external interfaces such as USB CAN or RS422 and are used by our military customers to display battlefield maps etc. Our Video products run an embedded Linux on a more powerful ARM processor relying on Ethernet connections to push compressed video streams around a vehicle.
The Vetronics teams software runs close to the hardware. We measure our boot time in milliseconds. There is no huge Java VM or Apache web server backend framework running our code in some cases there is an embedded Linux kernel in some cases a thin embedded operating system and in some cases there is no operating system at all.
