Press Releases

SYSGO, the global supplier of highly reliable device software, and SPOERLE, the largest distributor of electronic components for trade and industry in Central and Eastern Europe, have formed a strategic alliance. SYSGO will support SPOERLE's sales and support force and SPOERLE customers by providing technical knowledge about real-time operating systems and Embedded Linux.

SYSGO, a leading vendor of reliable device software, has added congatec as a new strategic partner in the company’s partner program. SYSGO will include support for congatec’s XTX™ product line in its ELinOS Industrial Grade Linux, a leading Embedded Linux distribution. With ELinOS, congatec users can create a customized Embedded Linux solution for congatec modules in a few minutes.

SYSGO, the European vendor of reliable device software, has been certified according to the ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE) model by the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE). The majority of the reviewed processes achieved SPICE Level 3. This corresponds to the same level under the CMMI model of Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute. SYSGO is the only RTOS vendor, worldwide, that has achieved these process quality levels.

Thales Computers and SYSGO today announce that SYSGO's ELinOS, the first Industrial Grade Linux solution, is available aboard Thales' single-board computers (SBCs).

ELinOS Real-Time combines the functionality of embedded Linux with the security and hard real-time features of SYSGO's RTOS PikeOS, enabling Linux in safety-critical applications with hard real-time requirements.

System software specialist SYSGO introduces ELinOS v4.1, the first Industrial Grade Linux solution. Support for interfaces and protocols such as CAN, CANOpen, VME, IPv4/IPv6, EtherCAT, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, etc., is particularly important for automation.

SYSGO, the European vendor of reliable device software solutions, today announced the membership in the Component Obsolescence Group (COG) Germany. SYSGO will support the COG with its knowledge how to deal with software obsolescence as well as how to emulate obsolete hardware with software. With the virtualization operating system PikeOS, SYSGO has already proven to address obsolescence issues in the past.

SYSGO, system software specialist for the embedded market, expects a 50% growth in turnover in the current year 2006. The acquisition of the French partner APES underlines the expansion course and the European orientation of the solution provider.

Open standards for electrical/electronic architectures are currently being promoted in almost all market segments. The AUTOSAR* initiative, for example, plans to present a standard at the end of 2006, and version IV of the OSGi standard** for networked applications has already been available since October 2005.

SYSGO has received an order from a leading Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer. As part of the project, the PikeOS operating system platform is currently being ported to the MIPS processor, and the first prototypes should be available by the end of the year. The goal is the coexistence of Linux and the Japanese operating system specification ITRON on one CPU.

SYSGO announced a first PikeOS order from a leading Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer. The project goal is the co-existance of Linux and the Japanese operating system ITRON on one CPU. Within this project PikeOS is also ported to the MIPS processor. The first prototypes are available by the end of this year.

ERA has selected ELinOS for a new generation of MSS (Multilateration Surveillance System) radar system, which is scheduled for the beginning of 2006. Supported by the Czech SYSGO team ERA will migrate to Embedded Linux.

SYSGO today introduced version 1.3 of the PikeOS operating system platform. On the basis of PikeOS, operating system APIs such as Linux, POSIX, OSEK, Ada, (Real-Time) Java and ITRON are available, which can be operated together and protected against each other on one CPU. PikeOS is available for PowerPC, x86, ARM and MIPS architectures and can be easily adapted to other hardware platforms due to its modular design. PikeOS v3.1 is available now.

SYSGO announces the launch of a new ELinOS version for October. ELinOS has been worked over radically and now fully supports the virtualisation platform PikeOS. Thus, it offers a long-term and reliable foundation for the use of Linux in embedded systems and safety-critical applications.

SYSGO is making the FreeToolbox of the ELinOS product line available as a free download version. This adds another product to the popular embedded Linux development environment ELinOS, giving developers unrestricted access to Linux for embedded systems.
