Press Releases

SYSGO has been awarded a number of important additional industry-specific safety certifications from TÜV Süd and a Common Criteria security certification from the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for its PikeOS real-time operating system. According to TÜV Süd, the hypervisor meets the requirements of Safety Integrity Level 2 of the IEC 61508 for safety-relevant electrical and electronic systems.

As embedded applications in the Aerospace, Automotive and other industries do mostly rely on multicore processors today, SYSGO has optimized multicore support in the new PikeOS version 4.2 a hard real-time operating system (RTOS) with hypervisor and separation microkernel The new release has been designed specifically for systems and applications that need certification according to safety or security standards such as DO-178B/C, EN 50128, ISO 26262, as well as Airbus SAR and Common Criteria…

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…

At the Aviation Electronics Europe event, SYSGO and Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions will demonstrate a joint platform for avionics systems that combines SYSGO’s DO-178B/C certified hypervisor PikeOS with Curtiss-Wright's VPX3-1701 Freescale™ LS1020A dual ARM® Cortex-A7 processor-based single board computer (SBC). The demo will feature CoreAVI® safety-critical OpenGL® ES/SC graphics drivers running on Curtiss-Wright's XMC-715 E4690 GPU-based graphics module. At SYSGO’s booth (#19), visitors can…

Flexible system architectures similar to the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) concept can be transferred from avionics to space. This is one of the essential findings from the OBC-SA research project, which after successful development of demonstrators is looking to start its third phase. The core of the system architecture is SYSGO’s PikeOS hypervisor, which enables complex mission-critical space travel applications on modern multi-core processors thanks to secure partitioning.

Devices and machinery for the Internet of Things are highly complex systems that must be tested according to industry-specific standards and protected against enemy attacks. The product development in this area usually takes several years, in which an optimal cooperation between manufacturers and suppliers is critical to the success of the project. With the newly created position of Director Certification, SYSGO bundles the human, technical and organizational responsibilities of these projects…

SYSGO’s Stuart Fisher talks at DASIA in Warsaw to system and software designers about the key role of the operating system to meet the standards necessary to promote multi-core CPU’s in products requiring safety and/or security certification.

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.

SYSGO, a leading supplier of software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security embedded applications, announces it achieved to certify its PikeOS real-time OS and hypervisor within a multi-core platform according to EN 50128 SIL 4. The certificate has been delivered by TÜV-SÜD.

SYSGO, leading supplier of embedded software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security applications, announces today the new 3.4 release of its flagship product PikeOS, which extends the SMP functionality, the list of supported multi-core platforms and its safety certification capabilities.

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, successfully achieved the IMA4Space project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), as part of a consortium including industrial players such as Astrium, GTD, Scisys and Thales Alenia Space. SYSGO’s contribution to the project was its certified RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) PikeOS which ran on the selected LEON space platform.

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.
