Automated Workflow Process Automation
WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform provides comprehensive automation for building, scanning, assembling, testing, and deploying platforms, applications, and SDKs. It enables the generation and deployment of OS platform images, containers, simulated devices, and even real systems through a virtual target management system. This level of automation significantly accelerates the development process and ensures consistency in deployments.
Flexible Development Interface Options
With WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform, developers have the flexibility to build and manage projects using a variety of interfaces such as IDE integration, GUI, CLI, API, or pipelines as code (YAML). This flexibility ensures that developers can work in their preferred environment and easily collaborate on projects with team members using different interfaces.
Customizable and Interchangeable Building Blocks
Developers can create custom pipelines using prebuilt blocks that contain project-specific details like OS images and target hardware. They can also combine these with in-house and third-party blocks to tailor workflows to their specific requirements. This interchangeability of building blocks allows for the easy modification of pipelines as project needs evolve.
Enhanced Visibility and Monitoring Capabilities
WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform offers detailed visibility into pipelines and processes, enabling developers to monitor component versions, revisions, artifacts, and build status from a single console. This level of visibility ensures that developers have full control and insight into the development process, leading to more efficient workflows.
Efficient Virtual Lab Access and Testing
With the inclusion of pipeline blocks managing access to simulation and local or remote hardware resources, WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform enables shared and automated test scenarios and processes. This feature streamlines the testing phase of development, allowing for faster iterations and more robust testing procedures.
Configurable Parameterized Building Blocks for Customization
Each component in WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform is unique and highly customizable, with dedicated parameters specific to the block being modified. This level of configurability enables developers to fine-tune their pipelines to meet the exact requirements of their projects, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
Collaborative Development Pipeline Management
WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform facilitates the creation, maintenance, and sharing of development pipelines across projects and teams. By centralizing pipeline management in the cloud, teams can collaborate more effectively, improving development efficiency and ensuring consistency across projects. The platform enables real-time updates to pipelines and the ability to save, share, and reuse configurations, streamlining the development process.
