The biggest new feature is the initial support for RISC-V, which has become increasingly established in recent years as a royalty-free and therefore cost-effective alternative to ARM-based platforms. This includes a Cross Development Kit (CDK) with associated debugging tools. The first board to be officially supported is Microchip's PolarFire SoC Icicle. Version 7.2 of ELinOS also fixes the year 2038 bug for all architectures. This ensures the smooth operation of embedded systems based on ELinOS…

SYSGO's embedded Linux distribution ELinOS is now available in the new version 7.1.2. Officially classified as a minor release, the Linux for embedded systems brings a major innovation: In a very simple wizard, the operating system can now be set up as "immutable". This means that the base system is unchangable and therefore much better protected against cyber attacks, because important system areas cannot be changed by unauthorized access. Additional applications and services run in a separated…

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…

SYSGO's ELinOS 7.1 release makes embedded Linux images faster and, above all, more secure.

SYSGO has integrated features in the new ELinOS version 7.0.2. that significantly improve the security of embedded systems. Among the new features are the integration of the kernel extension Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and the activation of Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).

ELinOS, the Embedded Linux from German developer SYSGO, serves as the technical basis for Miele's new Generation 7000 line of household appliances. The two companies are thus continuing their long-standing and successful cooperation. ELinOS is already being used the Generation 6000, first introduced in 2015, primarily for its innovative operating concept with a touchpad.

SYSGO GmbH is joining forces with the Linux Foundation to actively participate in their Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) project. In this open-source project, renowned automotive manufacturers and suppliers will work alongside hardware and software manufacturers to develop and implement a completely open software stack for the connected car.

SYSGO has launched version 6.2 of its Linux operating system – ELinOS – which is optimised for embedded applications. The new version is based on Linux kernel 4.9 with long-term support and real-time upgrades, and now supports Yocto Linux project kernels via a "generic platform BSP" too. ELinOS Security Services also help to close security loopholes quickly.

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 introduces version 6.1 of its industrial grade Linux operating system ELinOS, which has been optimised for real time embedded applications. The new version of ELinOS is based on Linux Kernel 4.1 with real-time extensions, support for ARM 64-bit architecture, as well as the x86 64-bit. ELinOS 6.1 enables developers, with a minimum working knowledge of Linux, to quickly build a development ELinOS system.

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.

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…
