Press Releases

Rapita Systems, a leading verification solutions supplier to the global avionics market, and SYSGO, a leading supplier of embedded software solutions for the world's most demanding safety and security applications, have published a whitepaper with guidance on how to efficiently meet A(M)C 20-193 objectives for multi-core software certified to DO-178C guidelines.

The security-focused programming language Rust is now available for the real-time operating system and hypervisor PikeOS. For the use of applications on Rust basis no guest operating system and/or no interface is necessary such as POSIX: Applications can run directly on a native PikeOS instance, making them both resource-efficient to operate and easier to certify against industry-specific safety and security standards. Rust was implemented in such a way that essential PikeOS features can be…

The modeling software Simulink is now integrated with the real-time operating system and hypervisor PikeOS. Simulink is a Matlab extension and is suitable for quickly creating technical-physical and financial mathematical models. These can then be conveniently translated into programming language via Matlab's Embedded Coder and then executed on PikeOS. By combining the two technologies, embedded software developers have the ability to design applications such as complex circuits, control…

With digitalization, a multitude of new technologies will be introduced to the railway system. These will place high demands on IT platforms in regards to reliability, scalability, performance and strict safety require-ments. As part of the Digitale Schiene Deutschland sector initiative, DB Netz AG, Thales, SYSGO, Fraunhofer IESE, University of Rostock and ESE, have taken a first important step in this direction and have developed the basic architecture for a "SIL 4 Cloud". 

SYSGO has responded to the increased cybersecurity threat level: Separation Kernel PikeOS 5.1.3 has attained the most widely accepted security certification standard Common Criteria (CC), also known as ISO 15408, at level EAL 5+ for the leading application processor architectures ARMv8, x86-64 and PPC. The higher EAL level assures that the PikeOS was designed semi-formally and checked against vulnerabilities that are increasingly complex to exploit. System architects and developers of embedded…

SiFive introduces Automotive E6-A, X280-A, and S7-A products and long-term roadmap.

SYSGO, leading supplier of software solutions in the world's most demanding safety and security applications for embedded systems, has teamed-up with COONTEC, a highly experienced South Korean company in embedded application development. The companies have announced their joint business partnership to contribute to the development of domestic software by providing embedded system virtualization technology. Together, they aim to maximize the efficiency of embedded software development for…

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market is one of the fastest growing markets and is forecasted to reach a valuation of 58.4 billion US dollars by 2026 according to Markets and Markets[1]. TTTech Aerospace is entering this emerging market by providing a certifiable network interface card. Mercury Systems selected TTTech Aerospace and SYSGO to provide their high-tech solutions for this program. TTTech Aerospace supplies its TTE-End System A664 Pro (PMC) card to connect the flight control…

congatec – a leading vendor of embedded and edge computing technology – announces its strategic partnership with SYSGO, Europe’s number one provider of real-time operating systems for safety and cybersecurity applications. The goal is to provide the critical systems markets – such as industrial automation, medical, smart energy, railway, commercial and autonomous vehicles or construction machinery – with Arm and x86 based turnkey solution platforms that are specifically tailored to address…

SYSGO has created a comprehensive Avionics Safety certification kit for the Hypervisor-based real-time operating system PikeOS. This includes an ARINC 653 execution environment which is highly demanded in the Avionics industry. The certification kit enables customers in the Avionics industry to develop systems and applications according to the highest Safety development assurance level A (DAL A) as described in the Avionics Safety standard DO-178C / ED-12C.

The latest version of SYSGO’s hypervisor-based real-time operating system PikeOS is suitable for use in systems and applications with the highest demands on functional safety. Automotive systems can now be certified to ISO 26262 ASIL D with the latest version of PikeOS. Also, railway applications are now able to achieve the highest level - according to EN 50128 SIL 4 and the new railway standard EN 50657 SIL 4. A new certification kit for IEC 61508 SIL 3 for industrial applications is also…

SYSGO now supports the embedded modules TQMa8Xx and TQMa8XxS from TQ Systems and thus expands its range of circuit boards for safety-critical and industrial up to SIL 2 level. The combined solution of real-time operating system & hypervisor PikeOS or embedded Linux ELinOS and TQMa8Xx-Board addresses a wide range of applications in which performance, especially in graphic applications and functional safety, are decisive. The solution can be used, among others, for medical and industrial…

SYSGO is now covering another important safety area with its real-time operating system and hypervisor PikeOS. In addition to the existing standards EN 50128, IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, the railway standard EN 50657 (software for railway vehicles) is now supported. TÜV Süd certified compliance with the safety requirement level SIL 2 with certificates for the architectures ARM7, ARM8 and X86-64.

SYSGO has introduced version 7.0 of its Linux distribution ELinOS, which is optimized for embedded applications. The new version is based on the Linux kernel 4.19 with long-term support and real-time extensions and now natively supports 64-bit development systems under Windows and Linux. In addition, the integration of ELinOS as a guest in SYSGO's hypervisor-based real-time operating system PikeOS was significantly simplified by the support of PikeOS' custom pools. With an easy-to-use Docker…

SYSGO has been awarded a number of important additional industry-specific safety certifications from TÜV Süd and a Common Criteria security certification from the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for its PikeOS real-time operating system. According to TÜV Süd, the hypervisor meets the requirements of Safety Integrity Level 2 of the IEC 61508 for safety-relevant electrical and electronic systems.
