Todays embedded developer can choose from many well-known RTOS vendors, but

ordinary RTOS products have become indistinguishable commodities that nolonger focus on innovative technologies. Innovation is critical in providing you

with a competitive edge. PikeOS offers all of the capabilities you have come to

expect from a leading RTOS, while providing next-generation innovations enabling

all of your embedded application goals today and in the future. In addition to all

the capabilities you expect from such as small footprint, deterministic hard real-

time behavior, and broad middleware, PikeOS goes much further.

Not just another RTOS

PikeOS offers a platform of the future

because it provides both RTOS functional-

ity and the functionality of a powerful and

efficient Type 1 hypervisor. It is based on a

separation microkernel. The PikeOS unique

virtualization concept satisfies the new

generation of safety-critical requirements

(exemplified by Integrated Modular Avion-

ics), security requirements (such as MILS)and supports the more general functional-

ity of software virtualization. PikeOS allows

multiple Personalities (API, Guest OS and

Runtime Environments) to run concurrently.

Virtualization, Safety, Security

The native design of the unique PikeOS

microkernel specifically addresses the

requirements of safe and secure systems.

The para-virtualization capability of PikeOS

enables the combination of applications with

different safety and security certification

levels on one platform.Performance optimized para-virtualization

is supplemented with hardware assisted vir-

tualization, which achieves not only native

performance for Guest OSs but allows an OS

or RTOS to run unmodified in the safe and

secure PikeOS environment.

End to end development solution

Developing embedded applications that use

a partitioned system requires specialized

support from the development environment.

Embedded developers need guided configura-

tion, remote debugging (often down to the

hardware instruction level), target monitor-

ing, remote application deployment, and tim-

ing analyses in addition to standard applica-

tion development features such as compilersand assemblers. With the Eclipse-based

CODEO integrated development environ-

ment, SYSGO offers a complete environment

for embedded systems development.

Through the use of hypervisor technology,

different software worlds with varying requi-

rements can be brought together on one set

of hardware. This is useful from the point of

view of systems and ergonomics, since the

borders between different applications in thecockpit are becoming increasingly blurred

due to cross-linking.

Unique combination of features

Virtualization: PikeOS incorporates the

latest para-virtualization technology, making

PikeOS a unique combination of real-time oper-

ating system and virtualization environment.

PikeOS directly solves issues like hardwareconvergence, legacy software migration, IP

protection and how to use Linux in secure

and safety-critical environments. Hardware

assisted virtualization is seamlessly integrated

in the PikeOS partitioning concept and pro-

vides maximum safety, security and perfor-

mance for the guest OS.

Safety: The strict time and resource parti-

tioning of the PikeOS microkernel prevents

application failures from propagating to any

other place in the system. PikeOS is completely

developed according to the development pro-cess requirements of the DO-178B, IEC 61508,

and EN 50128 specifications. ISO 26262 and

IEC 62304 certifications are in progress.

Security: In addition to the PikeOS multi-

layer security architecture and complete I/O

access control, PikeOS can incorporate com-

munication encryption and binary verifica-

tion. The PikeOS microkernel architecture is

fully compliant with the MILS architecture

and is currently involved in various security

standard CCs EAL 5/6 certification projects,

involving a formal verification of the kernel.

Advanced Scheduling and Timing Support:

PikeOS incorporates a new scheduler combin-

ing time and priority driven scheduling. Hard

real-time requirements for critical applica-

tions are met while still providing best effort

scheduling for non-critical tasks. PikeOS offers

high resolution timers. Scheduling schemes

can be changed on the fly.

Health Monitoring:PikeOS provides built-

in Health Monitoring functions, which imple-

ment all features described in the ARINC-653standard. Failures such as address violations,

timing violations, illegal instruction are

intercepted by the OS and handled as speci-

fied in the system configuration. This adds

another layer of safety without addit ional

application code.

Choose your Personality

Available OSs: Complete operating systems

normally dont require a host OS to run on,

nor can they tolerate the presence of another

operating system. On PikeOS, however, guest

OS can run in a partition safely separated

from any other partitions payload.

Linux Android ITRON RTEMS

OSEK legacy RTOS others

Available Runtime Environments andAPIs: Execution runtime environments need

an OS host. With PikeOS, they may have their

own schedulers, communication and synchro-

nization primitives. Therefore, runtime envi-

ronments run without losing performance.

POSIX (PSE51, PSE52) Real-time Java

Ada others

Available Industrial Buses: Several com-

munication buses used in different industry

sectors are supported.

ARINC 653 PikeOS Native AUTOSAR

ARINC 664 (AFDX) MIL-STD-1553 CAN others

Single- & multi-core CPUs support

Hardware independence: PikeOS multi-par-

titioning model does not depend on particu-

lar platform features like hardware virtualiza-

tion, but it can make use of them.. The PikeOS

para-virtualization concept is truly hardware

agnostic and covers a large scope of processor

architectures, whether they are part of single-

or multi-core processors:

PowerPC x86 ARM MIPS Sparc V8/LEON others

Multi-core architectures: The Safe and

Secure Virtualization concept makes it opti-

mal for the support of multi-core architec-

tures, providing execution models from SMP

to AMP, foundation for high performance and

certification requirements.

End to End Development Solution

Configure: The PikeOS system can be con-

figured using SYSGOs CODEO IDE, a state-of-the-art integrated development environment

based on Eclipse. CODEO provides specialized

plug-ins to configure the safety and security

features of PikeOS.

Implement: CODEO is an Eclipse based

IDE. It includes project management, code

browser, configuration management, inter-

faces components and can be extended by

other Eclipse plug-ins.

Deploy: Applications developed with CODEO

can be deployed directly on a PikeOS target.

Debug: Any application running on PikeOS

can be debugged independently and several

applications can be debugged at the same

time.

Trace: Application timing behavior can be

analyzed, using the tracing capability incor-

porated in each partition. Trace points can be

filtered, used as triggers, and extended using

the graphical trace configuration and visual-

ization editor. Concurrent tracing is possible

on multiple partitions.

Monitor: CODEO includes monitoring capa-

bilities, enabling users to view kernel objects,

threads, tasks and partition information. If

configured, the status of each partition can bechanged remotely.

Emulate: A target system emulator is avail-

able. Due to the modular approach of PikeOS,

simulation of I/O channels can be completely

transparent to the application.

Maintenance: Updates/upgrades can be

deployed remotely on PikeOS targets without

rebooting or physically accessing the hard-

ware.
