Press Releases

SYSGO has launched a new version of its microkernel based hypervisor known as PikeOS, which enables development and deployment of critical and non-critical applications on a single hardware platform. PikeOS 4.1 forms an integrated platform for the development of new or the migration of existing and legacy applications. PikeOS 4.1 provides proven technology suitable for Aerospace, Defence, Space, Automotive, Medical, Industrial and Railway Industry, where safety is a key requirement.

Siemens has chosen the PikeOS Hypervisor for its new electronics and software platform for electric cars. As seen in aviation technology, standardized hardware and software modules provide the basis for a unified computing architecture that can replace function-specific controller modules (ECUs). The PikeOS Hypervisor serves as the backbone of the software architecture. As a virtualization platform with hard real-time characteristics, PikeOS enables a predefined set of functions according to the…

Regional Sales Manager Burkhard Jour and Field Application Engineer Robert Pickles are strengthening SYSGO’s presence in the UK. One of the first initiatives of the new team is participation in the Advanced Engineering UK trade fair in Birmingham on the 4th and 5th of November. The focus will be on presenting a safe and secure automotive platform on the basis of PikeOS Hypervisor.

After Continental also Magna now relies on SYSGO’s Hypervisor PikeOS to consolidate complex applications in automotive electronics. The new technology will initially be used in Magna’s 360-degree view system SurroundVue™ and integrates camera system and vehicle information system on the same hardware. The new platform creates the basis for further joint customer projects. Production is expected to begin at the end of 2015.

Together with eleven international partners, SYSGO starts the EU project SAFURE that aims at the development of a platform for integrated safety and security for critical systems in the Internet of Things. Main objective of the project is to provide a framework for integrated safety and security that identifies and avoids security threats for the functional safety of networked systems. A new methodology enables the joint design of functional safety and security and provides system designers and…

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.

Today, ever more electronics systems run together in the cockpits of modern vehicles. These include a growing number of vehicle systems, multimedia applications, the booming world of the Internet, the Cloud and mobile entertainment technology. With a process for integrating the different system worlds in a single vehicle domain, Continental shows that more software and cross-linking does not necessarily have to lead to more hardware.

OTSL and SYSGO started co-development of Automotive Time Partitioning Scheduler (ATPS), an embedded virtualization based environment for vehicle systems, with the technical involvement of Nagoya University.

This spring, a mini combined heat and power unit (mini CHP) from a major heating system manufacturer attracted attention due to a security vulnerability. The plant can be controlled and maintained via the internet, but in doing so it also opened the door to hackers via its network connection. Cars, aeroplanes and industrial control systems are also being controlled by more and more computer systems and are becoming increasingly networked with their environment. In order to protect these highly…

SYSGO, a leading supplier of software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security embedded applications, will show at rts EMBEDDED SYSTEMS in Paris how to use ARM's TrustZone capability by combining its certified hypervisor PikeOS with a complete Android OS.

The requirements for embedded systems have fundamentally changed in the 21st century. Today, one platform runs multiple functions with different levels of criticality. These systems have turned into networked infrastructures, which are increasingly accessible through the Internet. They require a software platform that safeguards all subsystems and guarantees safety and security of the overall system.

SYSGO, a leading supplier of software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security embedded applications, announced its participation in the three-year project EURO-MILS. The main goal of the project is to develop market relevant technologies and concepts for virtualization of heterogeneous embedded systems and the formal verification for these systems as part of rigorous cross-European security certification.
