Real-Time Performance
PikeOS ensures predictable and reliable real-time performance, making it ideal for critical applications.
Application Separation
PikeOS offers strict partitioning and strong separation to provide built-in Security by design.
Hardware Consolidation
Extreme flexibility provides independence from suppliers in the choice of hardware architectures.
Use of COTS
The benefit of using Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components is to lower overall costs for applications.
Certification Kits
SYSGO offers the right certification kit in order to help facing the certification authorities.
ITAR free
As an European company, our products have no export restrictions and are therefore ITAR free.
Safety Certification
PikeOS has been designed from ground-up to be certified according to major Safety standards for industries like Aerospace, Railway, Automotive or Medical.
Security - A universal Requirement
PikeOS, with its separation kernel approach, is the top choice for systems requiring protection against Cybersecurity attacks and is widely used in IoT, edge systems, and critical communication infrastructures.
Virtualization & Real-Time
PikeOS uniquely combines virtualization and real-time technologies, enabling the consolidation of complex embedded circuit boards onto a single hardware platform, including support for new concepts like Big SoCs (Systems-on-a-Chip) with multiple processor cores.
Several Hardware Architectures
PikeOS supports processors that come with a Memory Management Unit (MMU) as well as less complex SoCs (Systems-on-a-Chip) that contain a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) only.
PikeOS Native
The PikeOS native API is primarily designed to build para-virtualized guest operating systems. It provides a small but complete set of low-level system calls that are optimized for performance, robustness, Safety and Security.
The PikeOS native API is also the first choice when it comes to software to be certified at the highest certification levels.
ARINC 653 (aka APEX)
The PikeOS ARINC 653 is built upon the PikeOS native API and provides a complete and fully functional APEX API target for Avionics systems, in particular with respect to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA).
The ARINC 653 guest operating system can be certified according to DO-178C DAL A.
POSIX
The POSIX API implements a subset of the PSE52 real-time controller system profile. It is a good choice for medium Safety-critical systems where a huge number of operating system services are required, but the use of Linux would still be too risky. It is often used for Automotive projects that require compliance to ISO 26262.
The POSIX API is the backbone of the AUTOSAR adaptive solution.
ELinOS Embedded Linux
Our ELinOS distribution offers the most straight forward integration into a PikeOS virtual machine as well as dedicated extensions to directly use enhanced PikeOS features. Linux operating system partitions are often used alongside a POSIX or ARINC 553 partition, setting up an overall system with mixed criticality. The PikeOS hypervisor technology ensures that a running Linux has no impact on the certification aspects of an API with a higher degree of criticality. Linux operating systems can be run in hardware as well as para-virtualized mode.
