The new BSP extends the long-standing collaboration between the two companies, providing a trusted European hardware and software foundation for safety, security and mission-critical embedded applications.
Designed for demanding markets including defense, transportation and industrial automation, the combined solution helps system developers accelerate platform integration while benefiting from PikeOS' advanced virtualization and separation capabilities running on Kontron's proven VPX computing platform.
Ready-to-Deploy Platform for Critical Embedded Systems
Developers can immediately deploy PikeOS on the Kontron VX3060 or on Kontron systems such as HARAKAN-F2 embedding the VX3060, using a fully supported BSP, significantly reducing platform integration effort and accelerating the development of secure, mixed-criticality embedded systems.
The BSP supports the board’s key functionalities including Ethernet, UART, thermal sensors, voltage monitoring sensors, and mass storage interfaces. Additional platform security capabilities such as Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integration and Secure Boot are available on customer request to meet cyber resilience challenges and platform integrity requirements.
The availability of the BSP accelerates time-to-market, shortens software bring-up phases and provides developers with a robust starting point for building certified and security-critical systems.
Supporting Mixed-Criticality and Secure Virtualization
The Kontron VX3060 and the HARAKAN-F systems based on it are designed for deployment in harsh operating environments and are well suited for transportation, defense, industrial automation, and other applications requiring ruggedized computing platforms. With PikeOS support, customers can immediately leverage the advanced partitioning and virtualization capabilities of PikeOS on the platform.
PikeOS can operate as a secure hypervisor as well as a combined hypervisor and real-time operating system – all in one product. This flexibility allows developers to consolidate multiple applications with different criticality levels onto a single hardware platform while maintaining strict separation between workloads. Critical real-time functions can operate alongside Linux, middleware, or application environments, enabling efficient mixed-criticality architectures that reduce system complexity, size, weight, power consumption, and lifecycle costs.
Strengthening a European Technology Ecosystem
As demand for trusted European technologies continues to grow across critical industries, the collaboration between SYSGO and Kontron provides customers with an integrated technology stack, combining proven embedded hardware, real-time virtualization and advanced cybersecurity capabilities.
"Our customers increasingly expect embedded computing platforms to be supported by mature software ecosystems," said Sébastien Vitre, Product Manager at Kontron. "By extending PikeOS support to the VX3060, we provide developers with a validated hardware and software platform that reduces integration effort and enables faster deployment of secure and mixed-criticality applications."
"The availability of PikeOS on the Kontron VX3060 demonstrates the continued success of our cooperation with Kontron," said Carsten Beck, Partner Management at SYSGO. "Together, we provide customers with a European technology stack that combines rugged hardware, advanced virtualization, real-time capabilities, and security features needed for next-generation embedded systems."
The BSP is available immediately and includes support for the core hardware interfaces required for system bring-up and application development. Additional security features, including TPM-based trusted computing and Secure Boot, can be integrated according to customer requirements.
