(Hong Kong, December 8, 2025) Shanghai G-Pulse Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. (“G-Pulse”or “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intron Technology Holdings Limited ("Intron Technology" or the "Group", stock code: 1760.HK), announced that recently it has successfully adapted the ISO 26262 ASIL-D certified real-time operating system eMCOS® POSIX from eSOL Co., Ltd. (“eSOL”), a leading developer of real-time embedded software solutions, to the ARM Cortex-A78 high-performance multi-core platform and completed validation on the Horizon Journey 6M chip. This significant technological breakthrough marks the effective clo-sure of the long-standing "Safety Gap" in high-performance Application processors, further so-lidifying the "Safety Foundation" of intelligent driving systems.
Full-Domain Safety: Bridging the Critical Gap Between Control and Compute
As intelligent driving evolves to higher levels, domain controllers adopting a heterogeneous computing architecture of "MCU (Microcontroller Unit) + A-core (Application Core)" have be-come the industry standard. However, a common "Safety Gap" exists in the industry: MCU cores typically run ASIL-D level RTOS to ensure control safety, while the high-performance A-cores that handle critical algorithms such as perception and decision-making often rely on non-functional safety operating systems. This "prioritizing control over computing power" safety model has become a systemic potential risk today, as algorithms grow increasingly complex and safety responsibilities become more critical. A single abnormal output from an runnable on an A-core can undermine the robust safety protections of the MCU domain.
Extending ASIL-D Level Safety to Every "Intelligent Brain"
Driven by a profound understanding and unwavering commitment to functional safety, G-Pulse is determined to break through this industry limitation. The company has successfully complet-ed the full porting and validation of the eMCOS RTOS on the Cortex-A78 core of the Journey 6M, overcoming the technical challenges of ensuring compatibility between high-performance mul-ti-core architectures and the real-time, deterministic requirements of high-level functional safe-ty.
This achievement signifies:
Tests indicate that this solution can stably support the efficient and reliable parallel execution of safety-critical tasks and AI computing tasks, demonstrating robust engineering capabilities for practical implementation.
G-Pulse's Basic Software Platform Solution
Unified Safety Baseline, Unleashing High-Performance Computing with Safety
When both MCU cores and A-cores operate on an ASIL-D certified RTOS, it will bring a qualitative leap to intelligent driving systems:
Deepening Ecosystem Collaboration, Building a Solid Industrial Safety Foundation
This breakthrough is a key demonstration of G-Pulse’s collaborative efforts with eSOL, a lead-ing developer of real-time embedded software solutions, and Horizon Robotics, a domestic chip leader, to deepen the "chip-operating system-upper-layer software" ecosystem collaboration. Through the innovative cooperation model of "OS vendor technology output + adapter experi-ence accumulation + chip vendor ecosystem empowerment" the three parties not only validated the exceptional capabilities of eMCOS on advanced multi-core architectures but also fully lever-aged the chip features of the Journey 6M, accumulating valuable experience in adapting high-safety-level OS for domestic chips.
As functional safety regulations for intelligent driving become increasingly stringent and the trend toward multi-core, high-performance chips becomes more certain, G-Pulse’s adaptation achievement not only strengthens its service capabilities in the field of high-safety underlying software but also provides the industry with a practical reference for "multi-core heterogeneous safety unification." This will vigorously promote the evolution of the intelligent driving chip ecosystem toward a more open, reliable, and highest-safety-standards-compliant direction, laying a solid foundation for the industry’s advancement toward comprehensive safety.

About eSOL and eMCOS
eSOL is a world-class Full Stack Engineering company to realize the Cyber-Physical Society for the people using its innovative computer technologies. eSOL's high-performance and scalable software platform products and first-class professional services, centered around its unique and patented eMCOS® multikernel real-time operating system (RTOS) technology, are used worldwide in demanding embedded application fields that conform to stringent quality, safety, and security standards. This includes automotive systems, industrial equipment, satellites, medical and digital consumer electronics.
In addition to the research and development of its leading-edge products, and joint research with major manufacturers and universities, eSOL is actively engaged in AUTOSAR, Autoware, and multi/many-core technology standardization activities. eSOL was founded in 1975 and is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE: 4420).
eMCOS is the world's first highly scalable, commercial real-time operating system (RTOS) that supports the modern multikernel architecture, also known as distributed microkernel architecture. Compared to all other traditional RTOS architectures, this new operating system architecture offers unparalleled scalability, supporting not only a greater number of cores but also heterogeneous hardware configurations. This includes various architectures, such as on-chip flash microcontrollers, SoCs, DSPs, and FPGAs.
The platform has already been ported to a wide range of hardware architectures, and its highly portable source code and design make it even easier to adapt to new platforms. Additionally, eMCOS' unique scheduling algorithm delivers the high performance expected from multi-core and many-core processors while providing the real-time functionality essential for embedded systems. The programming models and interfaces offered by eMCOS for both single-core and multi-core processors are the same as those of other widely used RTOSes, allowing application developers to quickly familiarize themselves with eMCOS' development style. eMCOS POSIX has been certified for automotive functional safety according to ISO 26262 ASIL-D.
