Press Releases

Under the motto "I have Five", SYSGO is presenting the new version 5.0 of its real-time operating system PikeOS at the embedded world 2020, which takes place from 25 to 27 February in Nuremberg. The company will also be presenting the new Secure Automotive Connectivity Platform (SACoP) and the SAFe-VX system for Safety-critical rail solutions, which was developed jointly with Kontron and is based on PikeOS 5.0.

At the Ferroviaria show in Milan, SYSGO and Kontron, one of the world's leading providers of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), will jointly present the SAFe-VX platform for safety-critical railway solutions. The platform is the first result of joint technology development by Kontron and SYSGO and is based on Kontron's proven COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) hardware and SYSGO's real-time operating system PikeOS. It enables users to quickly switch to a SIL-certified system to meet IEC 61508…

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.

The aim is to provide customers with a solid and flexible basis for certifiable application in trains and signalling. Kontron brings to the cooperation its proven COTS (Commercial off the Shelf) hardware, which is already used in many railway systems and has been certified up to SIL 4, the highest level of the IEC 61508 standard for functional safety of electronic systems. The SAFe-VX Kontron hardware platform will run under SYSGO's real-time operating system PikeOS, which is already used in EN…

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.

At the Berlin rail fair InnoTrans, SYSGO and UniControls agreed on the development of a joint COTS (Commercial-of-the-Shelf) platform for the railway industry targeting the highest safety level. With CS-C01, UniControls contributes a Freescale QorlQ P3041 Quadcore communication processor based hardware, which is supported by SYSGO’s hypervisor PikeOS. PikeOS already runs on Freescale’s P3041DS Hydra and is certified to the highest level SIL 4 of the railway safety standard EN 50128. UniControls…

SYSGO with PikeOS and Interface Concept with its Core i7 Intel VPX 3U and 6U platforms collaborate to offer processing solutions for the embedded defense and aerospace market. These solutions benefit from the most recent technologies available in the design of OpenVPX COTS Single Board Computers while offering high performance real-time processing capabilities.

At the Berlin railway technology fair InnoTrans, SYSGO and Kontron present a joint platform for safe rail systems. SYSGO’s hypervisor PikeOS is certified to the highest level SIL 4 of railway safety standard EN 50128 and runs on the Kontron VX3035 3U Single Board Computer with Intel Multi-Core i7 processor. At the booth of Kontron (booth no. 320 in hall 2.1), visitors can learn about the safety-tested platform.

SYSGO appoints Norbert Kuhrt as Vice President Sales to further accelerate the company's growth in safety-critical systems. With many years of experience in the embedded software market, Nobert Kuhrt will lead the global sales teams and sales activities.

The adaptation of PikeOS to the TQMa6x module means that alongside conventional control tasks, the embedded module is also ideally suited to applications with high levels of security. The combination of the reliable hardware offered by TQ and PikeOS creates a solid basis for applications that must comply with IEC 61508, EN 50128/50129 SIL 4 and DO-178B DAL B and provides a good starting point for future developments.

SYSGO announces the world's first SIL 4 certification of real-time operating systems on multi-core processors for PikeOS. The certification of PikeOS according to EN 50128, carried out by TÜV-SÜD, opens up the full performance of multi-core processors for railway technology applications with the highest safety requirements.

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.

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, 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.
