SYSGO's PikeOS Supports GE's rugged bCOM6-L1400 COM Express Module

The bCOM6-L1400 is based on Intel Core i7 processor and can support multiple independent displays in a wide variety of commercial, industrial, transportation and defense applications in a broad range of embedded computing environments, covering all market segments currently served by the SYSGO offering.

The bCOM6-L1400 is the result of GE’s extensive experience and expertise in the design and development of rugged COM Express modules. Customers can choose between dual-core or quad-core processor depending on the price/performance/power combination they need for their application. The bCOM6-L1400 has been designed to be deployed in the harshest, most challenging environments that are subject to extremes of temperature, vibration, shock and contaminants.

“Many embedded systems customers require the highest level of reliability – often up to full certification according to major industry safety standards,” said Tommy Swigart, Product Manager at GE Intelligent Platforms. “The availability of PikeOS on the bCOM6-L1400 can help them create a solution that meets their needs for their safety-critical systems.”

With PikeOS, SYSGO is addressing a new generation of embedded safety, security and reliability requirements across a range of markets. What makes PikeOS unique is that it has been designed to be both an RTOS and a hypervisor. PikeOS provides all the functionality required by hard real-time applications, and is very scalable and flexible to support a wide range of executive environments (also called Guest OS). PikeOS is the first certified hypervisor of the market and makes developers’ life easier by providing the same core components and tools whatever their requirements are in terms of hardware support, type of application and certification needs.

PikeOS running on bCOM6-L1400 will be demonstrated at the GE Developers Conference in Garching on June 13, 2013. A presentation explaining the functionality of PikeOS, “Software Partitioning for Safety and Security Critical Devices”, will be made by Matthias Loetzke, Director User Experience at SYSGO, during this conference.
