The aim is to provide customers with a solid and flexible basis for certifiable application in trains and signalling. Kontron brings to the cooperation its proven COTS (Commercial off the Shelf) hardware, which is already used in many railway systems and has been certified up to SIL 4, the highest level of the IEC 61508 standard for functional safety of electronic systems. The SAFe-VX Kontron hardware platform will run under SYSGO's real-time operating system PikeOS, which is already used in EN…

Smart mobility will be experienced by the participants of the "ConCarExpo 2018" from June 27 - 28 in Berlin.

Connected cars are a reality, most modern vehicles on the road nowadays have some form of connectivity to the open world. This raises important challenges on multiple software integration and cybersecurity. To address this challenge, Thales, through its German company SYSGO, and Vector, the Stuttgart-based specialist for automotive embedded electronics founded a joint-venture to address the critical issue of multiple software managing multiple – often safety-critical – functions.

The IT companies Vector and SYSGO have founded a joint venture for the development of embedded software. The aim of the cooperation is to create an integrated software platform consisting of the AUTOSAR adaptive basic software MICROSAR and the real-time operating system PikeOS.

COTS-based Glass Cockpit demonstration highlight’s SYSGO’s PikeOS, CoreAVI’s OpenGL stack, and Esterel SCADE Display with Curtiss-Wright's VPX3-133 single board computer (SBC) and XMC-715 AMD E4690 high performance graphics processor.

In space travel, there is an ever-increasing demand for computing and communication power. This is the only way to realise the pre-processing of large amounts of data from demanding experiments and payloads or complex image processing for robot control of autonomous docking manoeuvres. On 1 July 2016, the third phase of the OBC-SA project started, in which a modular architecture for such future on-board computer systems is being developed.

On July 1, 2016, the starting signal was given for the project "Basic System Industry 4.0" (BaSys 4.0) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim is to develop an "operating system" for production facilities that supports the efficient changeability of a production process as a central challenge of the fourth industrial revolution. The project is funded with 12 million euros and runs for three years. The coordinator is the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental…

SYSGO appoints OpenSynergy as Value-Added Reseller for its products PikeOS RTOS and Hypervisor, ELinOS Industrial Grade Linux in North Europe. The cooperation started beginning of June 2016 and covers sales, professional services as well as first level support for European customers. Applications enclose mission-critical appliances in the fields of the embedded industries.

TMS first distributor for SYSGO products in Africa / PikeOS Hypervisor and ELinOS for the South African defence and automation industry / Target market are safety-critical systems with certification requirements.

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.

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.

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.

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…

At SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2012, infoteam Software AG will demonstrate how a control system can be created safely and reliably using the infoteam Functional Safety Concept. This reference system is based on safe hardware from men mikro elektronik GmbH, the safe real-time operating system PikeOS from SYSGO and the firmware FlexiSafe® from ISaGRAF.

SYSGO, leading supplier of software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security applications, announces the appointment of OTSL, a supplier of expertise and services to the developers of embedded safety-critical and high-integrity systems, as its distributor in Japan.
