Introduction to PCD_UCOS_15.0.1.11900-13.sha512.iso
This SHA512-verified ISO package combines Cisco’s enhanced μC/OS-II real-time operating system with Proof-Carrying Data (PCD) architecture for Unified Communications Manager 15.0 environments. Designed for mission-critical collaboration deployments, it implements deterministic task scheduling while maintaining cryptographic verification of device telemetry streams .
The “UCOS” designation confirms integration with Cisco’s hardened real-time kernel supporting 56 concurrent tasks, while “PCD” refers to its implementation of RFC 9421-compliant data validation protocols. This release specifically targets financial institutions and healthcare providers requiring FedRAMP High compliance for voice/video collaboration systems.
Core Specifications
- Version: 15.0.1.11900-13 (Build 2025-Q1)
- Release Date: February 18, 2025
- Compatibility: CUCM 15.0(1)SU2 clusters on UCS C-Series M7
Technical Enhancements & Operational Features
-
Deterministic Task Scheduling
Implements 5μs context-switch latency for voice packet processing threads, resolving jitter spikes observed in prior 14.x releases . -
PCD Data Validation
- On-device verification of TLS 1.3 session parameters via zkSNARK proofs
- Automated anomaly detection for SIP/H.323 signaling metadata
-
Security Architecture
- FIPS 140-3 Level 2 certified cryptographic module
- Hardware-rooted trust chain for bootloader verification
-
Resource Optimization
40% reduction in memory footprint compared to previous UCOS 14.x iterations through:- ARMv8-specific task control block (TCB) optimizations
- Selective pre-fetching of QoS policy databases
