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.

Available OSs

Complete operating systems normally don‘t require a host OS to run on, nor can they tolerate the presence of another operating system. On PikeOS, however, they run in user-space, in non-privileged mode.

  • Linux (Kernel 2.6.2x)
  • OSEK

Available Runtime Environments

Execution runtime environments need an OS host. With PikeOS RTOS runtime environments have their own schedulers and communication processes. Therefore, runtime environments run without losing performance.

  • POSIX (PSE51, PSE52)
  • Java (Aonix and Aicas)
  • Ada (Aonix)
  • µITRON
  • CoDeSys (3S)
  • IData (Quantum 3D)

Available APIs

Application programming interfaces (APIs) provide an interface used to access underlying functionality.

  • ARINC 653
  • VxWorks subset
  • PikeOS RTOS Kernel API
  • PikeOS RTOS SSW API
  • any legacy API

Supported Platforms

  • PowerPC
  • x86
  • MIPS
