Embedded Expertise

With over 20 years of history in embedded, Siemens understands the needs of embedded developers. This enterprise class solution is extensible, configurable, and portable across processer architectures and enables security throughout the OS.

Enterprise Class

Sokol Omni OS is based on stable Debian code with a large number of fully tested binary packages. It provides tools and capabilities to install and use it with ease, decreasing overall startup time. Because this is a binary OS it can make OS standardization across embedded devices easier and more efficient. Source code is provided with this solution.

Commercial platform supported by trusted experts

Siemens Embedded serves as a trusted extension to embedded development teams. By leveraging the embedded Linux experts at Siemens Embedded, development teams can mitigate risk and maximize the probability of success of their Linux-based projects. Siemens Embedded expert support, training, and professional services include basic support, updates and upgrades, patches to critical security defects, platform extensions, basic and customized training, and long-term support.

Real-time

Sokol Omni OS provides a real-time (PREEMPT_RT) enabled kernel. Developers can use this kernel if their application requires higher determinism and lower, more predictable latency.

QT Graphics

Support for rich user interfaces using Qt® is provided in the OS. The Qt framework is optimized for performance and instrumented to enable users to identify common UI performance issues.

Secure Software Update & Application Isolation

Embedded developers can stay up to date with available security patches and product updates, enabling enterprise-class standardization and maintenance. This solution provides support for secure field updates using SWUpdate, application isolations using Docker containers, Debian package feeds, and much more. Customers will thereby realize the cost efficiencies related to remotely maintaining and updating their devices.

IoT and Cloud Enabled
