Products
Real-time hypervisors
TRANGO's hypervisor allows silicon vendors and OEMs to run multiple secure native Execution Environments on both single core and multi-core platforms.
Each Execution Environment is composed of a virtual machine, along with its address space where memory and hardware peripherals are mapped.
A Virtual Machine can run whatever would normally run on a real processor: stand-alone applications, Real-time operating systems, or rich Operating Systems.
TRANGO's hypervisor supports ARM architectures ARMv5 and ARMv6, and is available on a wide range of platforms based on ARM926, ARM1136, and XScale CPU cores, and MIPS architectures MIPS32 and MIPS64.
Supported operating systems include Symbian OS, WinCE, eCos, and Linux.
Integrated development environment (IDE)
TRANGO's tool chain is an Eclipse based environment providing system configuration of virtual machines, build environment, run-time debug, and monitoring [3].
Competitors
Trango Virtual Processors competes with other providers of virtualization software, including VirtualLogix's VLX, Open Kernel Labs's OKL4, as well as open source hypervisors such as L4 and Xen.
