INTEGRITY for the Intel Atom processor E6xx seriesThe INTEGRITY RTOS's unique and modern technology achieves unprecedented levels of security, safety, and availability for applications in transportation, industrial control, mobile, medical, aerospace, and other industries. The INTEGRITY RTOS is the foundation for Green Hills Software's Platform for Industrial Safety, with certification by TUV to IEC 61508 at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3), in addition to the EN 50128 SWSIL 4 Railway Safety Certification. The INTEGRITY RTOS is also the first operating system technology certified by NSA to EAL 6+, High Robustness, the highest Common Criteria security level ever achieved for a software product. Only an EAL 6+, High Robustness operating system is certified to protect high value assets from sophisticated attackers.

The Ultimate Open PlatformWith its open standards POSIX-conformant interface and ability to host general purpose operating systems such as Linux/Meego, Android, and Windows in secure virtual machines, the INTEGRITY RTOS can run more application software than any other operating platform, while maintaining the absolute highest level of security, reliability and real-time determinism for critical components, algorithms, applications, and subsystems. Green Hills Software brings the world's market-leading embedded software solutions to the world's most ubiquitous microprocessor architecture, adapted to power-constrained, high reliability embedded systems.

In addition to the INTEGRITY real-time operating system, the integrated Green Hills software development solution for the Intel Atom processor E6xx series consists of the following components:
