Real-Time Performance
PikeOS ensures predictable and reliable real-time performance, making it ideal for critical applications.
Application Separation
PikeOS offers strict partitioning and strong separation to provide built-in Security by design.
Hardware Consolidation
Extreme flexibility provides independence from suppliers in the choice of hardware architectures.
Use of COTS
The benefit of using Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components is to lower overall costs for applications.
Certification Kits
SYSGO offers the right Safety & Security certification kits to help facing certification authorities.
ITAR free
As an European company, our products have no export restrictions and are therefore ITAR free.
Safety Certification
PikeOS has been designed from ground-up to be certified according to major Safety standards for industries like Avionics, Space, Railway, Automotive or Industrial Automation.

Security - A universal Requirement
PikeOS, with its separation kernel approach, is the top choice for systems requiring protection against Cybersecurity attacks and is widely used in IoT, edge systems, and critical communication infrastructures.
Virtualization & Real-Time
PikeOS uniquely combines virtualization and real-time technologies, enabling the consolidation of complex embedded circuit boards onto a single hardware platform, including support for new concepts like Big SoCs (Systems-on-a-Chip) with multiple processor cores.
Several Hardware Architectures
PikeOS supports processors that come with a Memory Management Unit (MMU) as well as less complex SoCs (Systems-on-a-Chip) that contain a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) only.
ELinOS Embedded Linux
Our ELinOS distribution offers the most straight forward integration into a PikeOS virtual machine as well as dedicated extensions to directly use enhanced PikeOS features. Linux operating system partitions are often used alongside a POSIX or ARINC 553 partition, setting up an overall system with mixed criticality. The PikeOS hypervisor technology ensures that a running Linux has no impact on the certification aspects of an API with a higher degree of criticality. Linux operating systems can be run in hardware as well as para-virtualized mode.
Windows
Supporting Intel hardware virtualization, PikeOS can seamlessly run an unmodified and fully functional Windows together with other guest operating systems on one single platform. For older systems, our solution can safeguard legacy assets while enabling interaction with more modern, secure Windows environments for communication purposes.
POSIX
The POSIX API (Portable Operating System Interface) implements a subset of the PSE52 real-time controller system profile. It is a good choice for medium Safety-critical systems where a huge number of operating system services are required, but the use of Linux would still be too risky. It is often used for Automotive projects where ISO 26262 compliance is necessary. The POSIX API is the backbone of the AUTOSAR adaptive solution.
ARINC 653 (aka APEX)
The PikeOS ARINC 653 is built upon the PikeOS native API and provides a complete and fully functional APEX API target for Avionics systems, in particular with respect to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA). The ARINC 653 guest operating system can be certified according to DO-178C DAL A.
PikeOS Native
The PikeOS native API is primarily designed to build para-virtualized guest operating systems. It provides a small but complete set of low-level system calls that are optimized for performance, robustness, Safety and Security. The PikeOS native API is also the first choice when it comes to software to be certified at the highest certification levels.
Your specific Project
We support you to implement and execute a variety of hosted operating systems, runtime environments and APIs on top of PikeOS.
Certifiable IP Stack (CIP)
CIP is a UDP/IP networking stack compatible with the standard RFC specifications. It is available for the POSIX and PikeOS APIs and provides a standard socket interface. CIP is certifiable within the scope of Safety projects.
Certifiable File System (CFS)
The CFS is a PikeOS component that provides a fail-safe file system with more functionality than the PikeOS native file system. In addition to the basic file operations implemented by the internal PikeOS file providers, the CFS can also handle directories and file manipulations. It is still a simplified file system compared to standard Linux file systems and is certifiable within the scope of Safety projects.
Certifiable Math Library (CML)
The CML provides various mathematical functions of the C standard library. CML is certifiable within the scope of Safety projects.
PikeOS for MPU
Real-Time Partitioning for MPU Architectures
PikeOS for MPU is aiming to provide a safe and secure execution environment for medium-sized hardware platforms which do not provide a memory management unit (MMU) and therefore cannot run the standard PikeOS.
PikeOS for MPU is intended to be used on MPU-based SoCs as well as on heterogeneous SoC implementing MMU and MPU clusters.
Ready for Security: PikeOS for MPU is ready as secure Space RTOS.
Rust Programming Language
By incorporating Embedded Rust into PikeOS, SYSGO is able to offer its customers a highly secure and reliable solution for their embedded systems.
MATLAB® Simulink®
MATLAB's powerful modelling software Simulink by MathWorks is suitable for quickly creating technical-physical and financial mathematical models in various engineering fields. It is integrated as extension with the PikeOS RTOS & Hypervisor.
