Press Releases

SYSGO, a global vendor of highly reliable device software, has participated in a NASA evaluation of AFDX™, the new avionics data network, as well as ARINC 653-1, the standard interface for avionics application software, in connection with NASA’s Crew Exploration Vehicle Program.

SYSGO, the European vendor of reliable device software, has been certified according to the ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE) model by the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE). The majority of the reviewed processes achieved SPICE Level 3. This corresponds to the same level under the CMMI model of Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute. SYSGO is the only RTOS vendor, worldwide, that has achieved these process quality levels.

SYSGO, the European vendor for safety critical COTS software, today announced the release of a genuine software solution for AFDX (ARINC 664), the first pure software implementation of AFDX available on the market. SYSGO’s AFDX software solution will be undergo DO-178B Level B certification.

SYSGO, system software specialist for the embedded market, expects a 50% growth in turnover in the current year 2006. The acquisition of the French partner APES underlines the expansion course and the European orientation of the solution provider.

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.

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 presents a brand new product at Embedded World. PikeOS is a microkernel that makes it possible to run different operating systems simultaneously and protected against each other on one hardware. This allows Linux applications to run on one system even alongside safety-critical real-time applications.

At the Embedded World SYSGO introduces a brand new product. PikeOS is a micro kernel, which allows to use different operating systems on one hardware at the same time, but protected against each other.

SYSGO has just completed the verification of a commercial real-time operating system for aerospace applications. The trades and documents ("artefacts") required for certification according to DO-178B Level A were handed over to the client Rockwell Collins, Inc., Cedar Rapids, USA. The project took a total of 3 years to complete.

SYSGO Real-Time Solutions has been awarded a contract worth USD 2 million by the American group Rockwell Collins Inc. Within the framework of this contract, SYSGO will support the American supplier of electronic systems in the certification of operating system software for safety-critical applications (DO-178B).
