Press Releases

System software specialist SYSGO introduces ELinOS v4.1, the first Industrial Grade Linux solution. Support for interfaces and protocols such as CAN, CANOpen, VME, IPv4/IPv6, EtherCAT, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, etc., is particularly important for automation.

SYSGO’s PikeOS Kernel enables new platform architecture for military avionics systems.

SYSGO, a leading European provider of embedded system software, announces US distributor ACT/Technico Inc. and UK reseller Hitex Ltd. as new certified Distribution Partners. These latest partnerships enable SYSGO to expand its international distribution channels into the USA and UK. In the course of SYSGO's successful growth strategy, the specialist for embedded software is strengthening its position especially in the USA.

ObjectAda from AONIX is now available as a runtime Ada runtime environment on top of SYSGOs real-time operating system, PikeOS.

As of January, SYSGO is member of BITKOM, the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM).

Open standards for electrical/electronic architectures are currently being promoted in almost all market segments. The AUTOSAR* initiative, for example, plans to present a standard at the end of 2006, and version IV of the OSGi standard** for networked applications has already been available since October 2005.

Hardware manufacturer MEN Mikro Elektronik from Nuremberg and Mainz based software house SYSGO are teaming up to provide consistent Linux PowerPC solutions. The new ELinOS 4.0 now also includes the BSP for the automotive PowerPC MPC5200 ESM (Embedded System Module) EM1 and EM1A from MEN.

SYSGO announced a first PikeOS order from a leading Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer. The project goal is the co-existance of Linux and the Japanese operating system ITRON on one CPU. Within this project PikeOS is also ported to the MIPS processor. The first prototypes are available by the end of this year.

ERA has selected ELinOS for a new generation of MSS (Multilateration Surveillance System) radar system, which is scheduled for the beginning of 2006. Supported by the Czech SYSGO team ERA will migrate to Embedded Linux.

Software support for Kontron's COMs extended with ELinOS v3.1.

SYSGO and Aonix today announced a cooperation to provide the PERC VM and ObjectAda environments for PikeOS. The implementation makes full use of PikeOS’ multi-OS capabilities, thus allowing real-time Java, Ada and traditional Linux applications to run reliably side by side in different partitions.

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 offers the new ELinOS 2.2 in two versions. For beginners, for evaluation and for learning and test phases, the BasicToolbox is still available. For professional use of embedded Linux, the Development Kit was developed with additional tools and a comprehensive support concept.

Honeywell is expanding its building automation solutions with a Linux-based controller. Honeywell commissioned the Mainz-based software house SYSGO to create the system software for the new member of the EXCEL 5000 OPEN family. The core of the hardware platform is based on a PowerPC CPU from Motorola, for which SYSGO developed the board support package, the drivers for the required peripherals and a boot loader. The application software is created in-house by Honeywell.
