Open Component Portability Infrastructure (OpenCPI):

An open source software (OSS) software framework to simplify complexity & enable code portability of real-time systems

• Creates a hardware abstraction layer for embedded real-time systems
  
• Real-time middleware for embedded systems
• Middleware for Waveform-Ready™ Processing Platforms leading to improved waveform code portability with standards-based interfaces
• Increased interoperability using container technology
• Real-time virtualization

Component Portability Infrastructure (CPI) is a real-time embedded (RTE) middleware framework that simplifies programming of heterogeneous processing applications requiring, in a system or across a tech refresh, a mix of processing and interconnect technologies.

Designed for heterogeneous component-based applications such as:

• FPGA, GPP, DSP, GPU, Multicore processing, peer model
• Interoperable Intra-chip, interchip, interboard, network interconnects within applications
• Component basis means sharing and reuse of sub-application functions
• The reality of complex, SWAP (size weight and power)-sensitive, deployed applications
