A Modern Software Methodology for All Machines
A state-of-the-art software ecosystem specifically for the next generation of software-powered machines: a Rust-based operating system, modern development tools, comprehensive libraries, and integrated cloud services. Empowers developers by subsuming complexity while eliminating fragmentation, unnecessary vendor lock-in, and archaic tooling.
- Real-time OS Hard Real-Time Kernel, architected for machines, written entirely in Rust; software-based fault isolation; highly portable and scalable across processor architectures, hardware configurations, and workloads.
- Software Libraries Both generic and industry-specific: Connectivity, Cryptography, Graphics, I/O, Storage, UI… plus the osdyne Component Store.
- Cloud Services Device Management, Over-the-air Updates, Analytics/Diagnostics/Telemetry, Predictive Maintenance…
- Development Tools IDE (Visual Studio Code extension), tools for debugging, emulating, tracing, model-based designing…
Everything is Software
Since the invention of the lightbulb some 150 years ago, the ubiquitous device has kept evolving in its construction, content, and physical characteristics. And inevitably, software eventually found its way in: today, we have light bulbs that are connected devices with microcontrollers and sensors.
From a smart light bulb to a spaceship, virtually every machine with electronics has software in it. In fact, an estimated 90% of all processors run embedded software: that’s tens of billions of devices across various industries. Whereas the total number of personal computers and mobile devices is ultimately correlated to the human population, the potential number of these machines is practically unlimited!
The Current State of Machine Software
Software methodology is largely a solved problem for general-purpose computing, e.g., for Desktop and Mobile. The software embedded in machines is decades behind, however, because of several factors:
Massive Fragmentation Dozens of aging OSes, unwarranted hardware vendor lock-in, no portability of application logic, high application software complexity because of inflexible underlying system architectures…
Outdated Programming Languages Typically, subsets of C/C++: constrained, unsafe, painful, hard to use…
Platforms don’t do the Heavy Lifting Need a filesystem? Or a TCP/IP stack? Call a bunch of companies, sign NDAs, integrate C tarballs by hand; instead of the software platform providing all such functionality as reusable building blocks, developers have to fend for themselves.
Terrible Tools IDEs from ages ago, Windows-only debugging dongles, ancient processes…
Talent Shortage Old-school, stagnant, frustrating software economy: archaic tools and programming methodologies make it hard to attract developers used to modern platforms.
Complexity Overload Prevalent embedded software methodologies are at their limit: as machines continue to become more complex, interconnected, and safety-critical, the current approaches don’t scale further.
Whether manufacturers (machine-makers) want to innovate in-house, or outsource to Tier-N suppliers, the software costs—viability + time + money—are simply too high.
We want to help manufacturers be in control of their software destinies.
Our Vision
Hardware Independence Choose hardware vendors based on merit, instead of being forced into traditional vendor lock-ins. Switch microcontrollers / architectures / manufacturers without changing your application logic.
Modern Tools Development experience like iOS/Android, not old-school kernel programming.
A Complete Platform OS, libraries, tools, cloud… all designed to work together.
A Unified Ecosystem One integrated platform instead of fragmented silos.
Before iOS and Android, you had myriad devices like a cellular phone, perhaps a pager, a Personal Digital Assistant, a camcorder, a digital camera, a GPS navigator, a music player, a calculator…
Thanks to silicon and battery advancements, and the software power of mobile platforms, all this functionality now exists in one mobile device. And that’s not all: be it banking, communication, entertainment, productivity, or other categories, any and all application logic is possible on the same underlying platform. The software creation methodology is truly powerful: the platform itself does as much as possible, while providing a rich set of reusable libraries and developer tools that work together to minimize cognitive load on developers.
Developing embedded software should be as easy as modern smartphone development: osdyne brings this methodology to any and all machines.
We have the team and the technology to achieve this unreasonably ambitious vision!
How We Solve It
Purpose-Built, Modern, and Safe Architected from scratch. Every design decision based on the specific needs of non-general-purpose machines. Rust-based architecture eliminates ~70% of security bugs. Application logic becomes source compatible across different hardware.
Complete Platform Not just an RTOS + drivers, but an integrated set of generic and industry-specific libraries, along with cloud services, and modern tooling: one integrated ecosystem in which everything just works together.
Proven Proven initially via non-trivial proofs-of-concepts and prototypes, and then in pre-production scenarios: osdyne-powered application logic running in Automotive, Consumer Appliances, and several other verticals.
World-Class Team Built by engineers who shipped several successful software platforms cumulatively to billions of devices.
Unifying and Transforming Industries
- Automotive
Modern vehicles can have 100+ ECUs and 40,000 software configurations. osdyne can consolidate mixed-criticality workloads on single chips while enabling multi-vendor software integration.
- Industrial
65% of factories run outdated firmware vulnerable to attack. osdyne provides IEC 62443-ready security with OTA updates. Predictive Maintenance can be greatly simplified if implemented on top of osdyne.
- Medical Devices
FDA now requires SBOMs and cybersecurity documentation. osdyne’s isolated domains let you update non-critical components without re-certifying the entire device under IEC 62304.
- Consumer Electronics
IoT devices cause 10% of data breaches, often because they can’t be updated. osdyne brings secure OTA updates to even the smallest MCUs. Built-in SBOM generation and vulnerability tracking simplify Cyber Resilience Act compliance.
- Robotics
Coordinating sensors, actuators, and AI with hard real-time guarantees has always been error-prone in C. osdyne’s Rust foundation makes complex concurrency safe and deterministic.
- Aerospace
DO-178C DAL A certification takes years and costs millions. osdyne’s partitioned architecture simplifies multicore certification while supporting 20+ year product lifecycles.
