Perseus Brings Its Flagship PEGASUS Automotive Hypervisor to Infineon AURIX™ TC4Dx Platform
SEOUL, South Korea, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Perseus (www.cyberperseus.com) has released its flagship automotive hypervisor, PEGASUS, for Infineon Technologies' AURIX™ TC4Dx System-on-Chip (SoC) evaluation platform, giving OEMs and Tier 1s a production-oriented path to develop and test virtualized, mixed-criticality systems for next-generation Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). The ISO 26262 ASIL-D–certified Type‑1 (bare‑metal) hypervisor is now available on TC4Dx evaluation hardware, with tooling and documentation accessible through Infineon's ecosystem channels.
This release marks the completion of an integration and enablement program in which Perseus adapted PEGASUS to the TC4Dx evaluation board, delivering an engineer-ready evaluation stack that tightly couples TC4Dx hardware features with system-level virtualization requirements. The combined solution is designed to support SDV, zonal, and safety-critical automotive architectures, enabling developers to prototype and advance consolidated, safety-compliant E/E platforms on production-grade technology.
What's available now
Engineers working with Infineon AURIX™ TC4Dx evaluation hardware can now access a complete virtualization stack designed for real-system evaluation and integration:
PEGASUS Automotive Hypervisor
- Perseus' flagship system software product
- Type-1 (bare-metal) hypervisor
- ISO 26262 ASIL-D certified for CPU and MCU architectures
- Enables strict isolation and deterministic scheduling of mixed-criticality workloads
PEGASUS Software Development Kit (Workbench)
- System-level configuration and build environment
- Definition of VM (virtual machine) layouts and resource allocation (CPU, memory, devices)
- Design-time validation and repeatable image generation
Documentation and References
- Platform descriptions, integration guidance, and partner information
Published via Infineon's IFX ecosystem and partner database
PEGASUS' availability on Infineon AURIX™ TC4Dx Evaluation Hardware supports real system evaluation and integration work, rather than proof-of-concept experimentation.
Technical context
As Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures mature, OEMs are under pressure to consolidate functionality not only on application-class SoCs but also within real-time and safety-critical MCU domains. Infineon's AURIX™ TC4Dx family—engineered for deterministic execution and ASIL-D safety—offers a hardware base for this consolidation. PEGASUS addresses the system-software layer required to safely consolidate workloads on such platforms, enforcing isolation, resource control, and predictable behavior below the operating system layer.
"PEGASUS is Perseus' flagship automotive hypervisor, designed to operate at the system layer where safety, determinism, and isolation are defined," said Sang-bum Suh, PhD, Perseus Founder. "By enabling PEGASUS on Infineon's TC4Dx evaluation hardware and making the tooling and documentation publicly available, we're giving engineering teams a practical way to evaluate MCU-level virtualization for production-oriented SDV architectures."
"Infineon's AURIX™ TC4Dx microcontrollers are designed to support advanced automotive architectures requiring strong safety and real-time characteristics," said Thomas Schneid, Head of Software, Partnership & Ecosystem Management at Infineon Technologies. "The availability of PEGASUS through our ecosystem provides customers with an additional option to evaluate hypervisor-based virtualization on TC4Dx as part of their system architecture and platform assessments."
