Press Releases

Devices and machinery for the Internet of Things are highly complex systems that must be tested according to industry-specific standards and protected against enemy attacks. The product development in this area usually takes several years, in which an optimal cooperation between manufacturers and suppliers is critical to the success of the project. With the newly created position of Director Certification, SYSGO bundles the human, technical and organizational responsibilities of these projects…

At the Berlin railway technology fair InnoTrans, SYSGO and Kontron present a joint platform for safe rail systems. SYSGO’s hypervisor PikeOS is certified to the highest level SIL 4 of railway safety standard EN 50128 and runs on the Kontron VX3035 3U Single Board Computer with Intel Multi-Core i7 processor. At the booth of Kontron (booth no. 320 in hall 2.1), visitors can learn about the safety-tested platform.

Only two weeks after the release of its hypervisor PikeOS 3.5, SYSGO presents today the new version 6.0 of the embedded Linux distribution ELinOS. Core element of the update is the redesigned in-house development environment CODEO 5.1, which now combines all the tools for the development of industrial Linux projects under one user interface. For use in embedded systems, ELinOS features an optimized Linux kernel 3.12. The latest CPUs for embedded systems have been added to the list of supported…

SYSGO announces today the release of version 3.5 of its hypervisor PikeOS. Focus of the innovation is the support of hardware virtualization enabling the execution of guest operating systems without any adaption. Additionally, PikeOS 3.5 is equipped with an enhanced PikeOS Native personality and improved Linux support by using ELinOS 6.0 and Android 4.3.1. The integrated development environment CODEO has also been updated and speeds up the configuration process of ELinOS and Android…

SYSGO appoints Norbert Kuhrt as Vice President Sales to further accelerate the company's growth in safety-critical systems. With many years of experience in the embedded software market, Nobert Kuhrt will lead the global sales teams and sales activities.

Vector Software, the world’s leading provider of innovative software solutions for testing safety and mission critical embedded applications, announced today that the company has partnered with SYSGO GmbH to offer the VectorCAST™ software test tool in an integration with the latest version of microkernel based real-time operating system (RTOS) PikeOS 3.4. Certified to the highest safety and security standards, this RTOS is used in safety-critical applications such as aircraft, rail, medical…

SYSGO expands its virtualization platform PikeOS with support for the high-end infotainment system Renesas R-CAR H2 for the automotive market. PikeOS provides full hardware virtualization for the high performance system-on-chip platform and achieves almost identical benchmarks for virtualized as for native systems.

SYSGO’s Stuart Fisher talks at DASIA in Warsaw to system and software designers about the key role of the operating system to meet the standards necessary to promote multi-core CPU’s in products requiring safety and/or security certification.

SYSGO's "Method for distributing computing time in a computer system" is now patented in the US. This method is the basis of SYSGO's Safe & Secure Virtualization RTOS PikeOS that was built from scratch to meet safety and security requirements at the highest level.

SYSGO is bringing hardware virtualization to the automotive market. By using the virtualization technology of SYSGO's RTOS PikeOS the company succeeded in demonstrating a high end cluster running on the latest automotive hardware: the R-Car H2 from Renesas based on ARM®Cortex™-A15 Quad. Thanks to PikeOS the cluster application is running in parallel to an open application in a safe and secure way.

PikeOS developers were already able to use TRACE32 from Lauterbach, a debugging capability that applies to a full range of items, from bootstrap code to interrupt routines and drivers. The PikeOS awareness provides easy access to PikeOS resources such as partitions, processes and threads. Because PikeOS is also a virtualization platform, it is important to be able to debug any application, whatever partition or type of partition (called Guest OS) this application belongs to.

SYSGO is actively working on the new 6.0 release of ELinOS. In addition to its own in-house test suites always used for new versions, SYSGO is using an extensive test suite provided by OSADL which focuses on stability and capabilities of the real-time Linux kernel.

SYSGO, a leading supplier of software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security embedded applications is demonstrating a safe and secure virtualization platform based on ARM® Cortex®-A15 based hardware during the Embedded World event.

The adaptation of PikeOS to the TQMa6x module means that alongside conventional control tasks, the embedded module is also ideally suited to applications with high levels of security. The combination of the reliable hardware offered by TQ and PikeOS creates a solid basis for applications that must comply with IEC 61508, EN 50128/50129 SIL 4 and DO-178B DAL B and provides a good starting point for future developments.
