  • Use Cases

    • Adding Linux to a Device
      OKl4 provided trustworthy virtualization results in improved reliability and security in devices running Linux alongside another operating system environment.
    • Componentization
      Using OKL4 as a secure decomposition platform reduces development time and increases reliability. OKL4 uniquely enables an incremental approach to componentization by providing flexible options for the granularity of components.
    • Processor Consolidation
      By providing trustworthy virtualization capability OKL4 allows operating systems and applications from separate processors to be safely combined on a single processor.
    • Complementary OS Design
      When systems benefit from using both an RTOS and a richer application OS, OKL4 improves reliability and reduces hardware requirements through its trustworthy virtualization capability.
    • Improving Security
      As a complement to a full featured OS, OKL4 provides an execution environment with a much smaller trusted computing base for critical applications, resulting in more secure operation.
    • Enabling Reuse
      The effort to reuse legacy embedded system software with new development targeting a different operating system (or version) is reduced using OKL4s trustworthy virtualization capability.
