Altreonic partner in Flanders Drive ASIL project
Altreonic participates in the Flanders Drive ASIL project. It's full title is "Safety Integrity Levels in Automotive: from requirements towards a validated system". In this project Altreonic will contribute by integrating awareness for the selected Standard's compliance in its OpenCookbook environment. The specific and measurable goal of this project is to provide each of the Flanders’ drive partners with the capability to execute projects in appliance to SIL (Safety Integrity Level).
New white paper on OpenCookbook
A new white paper on Altreonic's methodology and how it is applied in OpenCookbook, our environment for supporting projects from early requirements till the release of the product has now been made available.

OpenComRTOS supports LEON3
LEON3 is a 32bit SPARC CPU used by the European Space Agency. It is available in commercial as well as in fault-tolerant versions with SEU capability from e.g. Gaisler Research. A first port was undertaken using a Xilinx FPGA board.
A small "ping-pong" test program using two tasks and two semaphores compiled down to 6092 bytes and was measured at 73 microseconds for a complete loop (clock frequency 50 MHz).
A first release is scheduled for end November.
Altreonic involved in EVOLVE project (ITEA)
Altreonic's research partner Open License Society participates in the ITEA EVOLVE project (Evolutionary Validation, Verification and Certification) with partners from Belgium, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Portugal. For Belgium (Flanders) there is a participation of Barco, Melexis, TriPhase, Open License Society and K.U.Leuven with funding approved by IWT.
In this project Open License Society acts as the research partner for Melexis and will further research the development of "OpenCookbook", supporting the Melexis engineering flow in an incremental way. Keywords are tracebility and IEC 61508 compliance. Integration with OpenVE and SDL-RT is planned as well to demonstrate the wide applicability of the approach. See the project leaflet in attachment.

Altreonic, first spin-off of Open License Society goes for high reliability
On 1st September, Altreonic was officially created as a spin-off of Open License Society. The latter started in 2004 to research a unified systems engineering methodology aiming at trust-worthy systems and products. Formal methods were adopted and tools were developed proving that the methodology actually delivers. After 4 years of intensive research, Altreonic is putting the research into practice. The goal is "Push button high reliability!" for embedded systems.The team is composed of 14 people and headed by Eric Verhulst, a veteran guru in real-time multi-processor operating systems and embedded systems research and development. It's first product, the Virtuoso distributed RTOS, was acquired in 2001 by Wind River Systems.
