Embedded World: First commercial IoT solution to achieve Arm PSA certification

1 min read

At this year's Embedded World, Express Logic has announced that its industrial-grade X-Ware IoT Platform has become an Arm PSA Certified product. "This currently the only such commercial product to earn this distinction," says the RTOS focused company.

PSA Certified is an IoT security evaluation scheme created by Arm to support customers in implementing the level of security needed for their devices. Its objective is to help build trust in the IoT by making independent security testing the norm for IoT platforms.

This achievement was made possible thanks to Express Logic’s collaboration with Brightsight, a security evaluation lab.

The X-Ware IoT Platform is built on the ThreadX RTOS, which has more than 6.2 billion deployments, and leverages the small footprint and near wirespeed of Express Logic’s NetX Duo IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack for IoT connectivity.

"The X-Ware IoT Platform is the safest IoT embedded development RTOS and middleware solution on the market," says Express. In addition to the Arm PSA certification, it has attained the highest levels of safety certifications including IEC 61508 SIL 4 (the highest, most dependable level as determined by IEC), IEC 62304 Class C, ISO 26262 ASIL D, EN 50128 SW-SIL 4, UL 60730-1 Annex H, CSA E60730-1 Annex H, IEC 60730-1 Annex H, IEC 60335-1 Annex R, and IEC 60335-1 Annex R, 1998. For those devices and applications that must do more than just connect to the IoT, the X-Ware IoT Platform offers the safety-certified FileX embedded FAT-32/exFAT file system, the GUIX GUI development and embedded runtime framework, and the USBX embedded host/device USB stack.
