Wind River customers have already implemented the Datalight products to fully optimize their VxWorks-based device software designs. Thomson Technology, an innovator in the design, development and manufacture of electrical systems and products for the power generation industry based in Vancouver, Canada, recently implemented both Reliance and FlashFX Pro in a VxWorks-based design. "We needed to be able to confidently write data to flash and to safeguard data when the controllers were unexpectedly powered down," said Dale Hughes, Director of Research and Development, Thomson Technology. "By integrating Datalight's FlashFX Pro and Reliance with Wind River's VxWorks into our design, we were able to provide failsafe reliability and eliminate the likelihood of file system corruption." By integrating Reliance and FlashFX Pro into its VxWorks design, the Thomson team safeguarded the controller's file system, ultimately lowering field service costs and saving Thomson Technology's customers money.
