AdaCore today announced the release of its GNAT Pro 17.1 development environment for SYSGO's Real-Time Operating System PikeOS. With GNAT Pro 17.1, Ada users targeting PikeOS will see a number of product enhancements, including upgrades to the underlying code generator and debugger technologies (to GCC 6 and GDB 7.10, respectively), better elaboration order handling, improved stubbing in GNATtest, and enhanced debugger support in the GNAT Programming Studio (GPS) IDE.

On July 1, 2016, the starting signal was given for the project "Basic System Industry 4.0" (BaSys 4.0) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim is to develop an "operating system" for production facilities that supports the efficient changeability of a production process as a central challenge of the fourth industrial revolution. The project is funded with 12 million euros and runs for three years. The coordinator is the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental…

SYSGO introduces version 6.1 of its industrial grade Linux operating system ELinOS, which has been optimised for real time embedded applications. The new version of ELinOS is based on Linux Kernel 4.1 with real-time extensions, support for ARM 64-bit architecture, as well as the x86 64-bit. ELinOS 6.1 enables developers, with a minimum working knowledge of Linux, to quickly build a development ELinOS system.

SYSGO expands its virtualization platform PikeOS with support for the high-end infotainment system Renesas R-CAR H2 for the automotive market. PikeOS provides full hardware virtualization for the high performance system-on-chip platform and achieves almost identical benchmarks for virtualized as for native systems.

PikeOS developers were already able to use TRACE32 from Lauterbach, a debugging capability that applies to a full range of items, from bootstrap code to interrupt routines and drivers. The PikeOS awareness provides easy access to PikeOS resources such as partitions, processes and threads. Because PikeOS is also a virtualization platform, it is important to be able to debug any application, whatever partition or type of partition (called Guest OS) this application belongs to.

SYSGO is actively working on the new 6.0 release of ELinOS. In addition to its own in-house test suites always used for new versions, SYSGO is using an extensive test suite provided by OSADL which focuses on stability and capabilities of the real-time Linux kernel.

SYSGO, a leading supplier of embedded software solutions for the world’s most demanding safety and security applications, is announcing the support of the BAB-Q2 QorlQ evaluation board from ELTEC Elektronik AG by its certified real-time operating system PikeOS.

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…
