[edit] 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.
[edit] 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].
[edit] 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.
