Press Releases

As of January, SYSGO is member of BITKOM, the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM).

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.

Hardware manufacturer MEN Mikro Elektronik from Nuremberg and Mainz based software house SYSGO are teaming up to provide consistent Linux PowerPC solutions. The new ELinOS 4.0 now also includes the BSP for the automotive PowerPC MPC5200 ESM (Embedded System Module) EM1 and EM1A from MEN.

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 AG has joined the AUTOSAR Consortium (Automotive Open Systems Architecture) as an associate member. SYSGO will extend its real-time operating system PikeOS with AUTOSAR-compliant interfaces.

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 opens a new office in Munich to offer a better service to the Southern German customers & companies. The new Key Account Manager Hans-Werner Hartwig is responsible the Embedded Software Sale & Support to Siemens, working from Oberpfaffenhofen office near Munich, since August 1, 2005.

Rheinmetall Defence Electronics (RDE) transfers delivery and certification of the basis software for cargo compartment electronics of Airbus A400 M to SYSGO. Besides the delivery of the operating system the volume of the order includes especially the design of software and documents for the certification of the so-called Loadmaster Control system according to standard DO-178B for 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.

Software support for Kontron's COMs extended with ELinOS v3.1.

SYSGO and Aonix today announced a cooperation to provide the PERC VM and ObjectAda environments for PikeOS. The implementation makes full use of PikeOS’ multi-OS capabilities, thus allowing real-time Java, Ada and traditional Linux applications to run reliably side by side in different partitions.

Together with its Japanese partner 4Link Systems SYSGO presents a Board Support Package for the i.MX21 processor (Dragonball) from Freescale. In cooperation with Freescale Japan Linux has been ported to the processor and the ADS board has been integrated in the ELinOS Board Support Program. Thus an extensive tool is available for the customers' development of embedded systems under Linux.
