PikeOS RTOS Technology

Today’s embedded developer can choose from many well-known RTOS vendors, but ordinary RTOS products have become indistinguishable commodities that no longer focus on innovative technologies. Innovation is critical in providing you with a competitive edge, and to meet your client’s goals for near-term product development and long-term technology management. PikeOS offers all of the capabilities you have come to expect from a leading RTOS, while providing next-generation innovations to enable you and your clients to meet all of your embedded application goals today and in the future. In addition to all the capabilities you expect such as small footprint, deterministic behavior, and broad middleware, PikeOS goes much further.

OS Architecture Concept: Safe & Secure Virtualization

The native design of the unique PikeOS separation microkernel specifically addresses the requirements of safe and secure systems. All drivers, stacks, hard real-time applications and hosted OSs or RTEs reside in separate address spaces with pre-defined I/O access controlled by PikeOS. The paravirtualization capability of PikeOS enables the combination of applications with different safety and security certification levels on one platform.

Not just another RTOS: Choose your Personality

PikeOS offers support for a variety of hosted operating systems, runtime environments and APIs. This variety enables legacy applications (e.g. Ada or legacy RTOS) to run concurrently with new applications based on standards like POSIX and ARINC 653. All these OSs, runtime environments and APIs run on the same PikeOS kernel and can be combined as needed.

Application Development: End to end Solution

Developing embedded applications that use a partitioned system requires specialized support from the development environment. Embedded developers need guided configuration, remote debugging (often down to the hardware instruction level), target monitoring, remote application deployment, and timing analyses in addition to standard application development features such as compilers and assemblers. With the Eclipse-based CODEO integrated development environment and the time and system analyzer extensions, SYSGO offers a complete environment for embedded development.

Single- & multi-core CPUs support

Performance is the main driver for multi-core architectures in embedded devices. But multi-cores rise the question about how to assign time and resources to different tasks and applications in an adequate way. And they require a concept to assure the safety and security of the overall system. PikeOS v3.1 provides multi-core support in a proven safe and secure environment, a certified system with a generic core for all appliances
