"SYSGO's competence regarding Embedded Linux, real-time operating systems and virtualization, together with their extensive embedded product line and service offerings, make them the preferred partner. The combination of our existing hardware portfolio together with SYSGO's strong embedded software line will open new markets for SPOERLE," said Johann Meinersen, Director Center of Advances Technologies (CAT) of SPOERLE.

"SPOERLE's embedded electronics customers can now benefit from our strategic cooperation while getting everything they need to create an embedded platform out of one hand," commented Knut Degen, SYSGO's CEO.

SYSGO will provide ongoing training and education to SPOERLE's field application enginners and sales force in order to keep them up-to-date on the latest device software developments and trends. "SPOERLE enginners will be enabled to help their customers understand the versatility and benefits of an Embedded Linux version that's based on an off-the-shelf industrial-grade product, such as SYSGO’s ELinOS", adds Dr. Basam Elia, Technical Marketing Manager Software Solutions of SPOERLE and internal project leader. SYSGO provides an ELinOS evaluation CD that contains support for all boards distributed by SPOERLE.

ELinOS already supports a lot of boards and processors out of SPOERLE's portfolio including hardware from AMD, Atmel, Freescale Semiconductor, Intel and STMicroelectronics.

The SYSGO/SPOERLE alliance will give SPOERLE customers direct access to SYSGO's software expertise and SPOERLE's hardware knowledge, and will facilitate the creation of a complete support foundation for any projects and applications that customers may have.
