iSYSTEM celebrates 35th anniversary

Developer-oriented tools and solutions for embedded software development and testing since 1986.

In April 2021, iSYSTEM, the specialist for tools and solutions for embedded software development and testing with headquarters in Schwabhausen near Munich, celebrates their 35th anniversary. The internationally operating company looks back on an innovation-driven history in an industry characterized by rapid technical progress in electronics. iSYSTEM's most important goal has always been to support their customers: the embedded software developers for automotive, medical, avionics, industrial and consumer applications.

For iSYSTEM, it all started in 1986, when Helmut Kindermann founded “iSYSTEM Gesellschaft für Informatiksysteme mbH”. Originally, the company was a distributor for hardware and software for embedded software developers, offering amongst other cross-compilers and emulators for Intel’s 8051 microcontroller or simulators for Zilog’s 8-bit Z80. But soon they started to develop their own tools, like the iC-80 In-Circuit Emulator for Z80 microprocessors and the iPS4000 EPROM Simulator. In 1991, iSYSTEM introduced their first software product, the iSIM-Simulator for Motorola’s 6805 devices.

Since the early days, iSYSTEM has learned a lot about the demanding needs of embedded developers and accordingly expanded their product portfolio. A huge milestone was the company’s first integrated development environment dosIDEA in 1992. Many of its basic concepts for debugging and performing trace with emulators can still be found in iSYSTEM’s successful IDE, debug, and trace tool winIDEA. Over the years and thanks to close partnerships with leading semiconductor companies, iSYSTEM tools supported an increasing number of microcontroller/processor devices and were further enhanced with additional software and hardware tools and services. Like testIDEA, a software tool to perform unit, integration and system tests, the free and public Application Programming Interface (API) isystem.connect with lots of Software Development Kits (SDK) on top of it, and the BlueBox debug and trace hardware tools – just to name the company’s most successful products.

Until today, iSYSTEM is a privately owned company. It has an international team of more than 80 employees in five offices in Europe and the US as well as distributors in Asia and maintains close partnerships with the major semiconductor manufacturers.

“iSYSTEM has always been oriented towards the needs of embedded software developers. We are fully committed to the requirements of our customers and, in cooperation with our semiconductor partners, we always keep an eye on future developments in the hardware sector as well,” said Erol Simsek, CEO of iSYSTEM. “We are proud to be a part of the success story of many of our customers’ applications especially in the automotive and industrial sector. And we will continue to support them with user-friendly and practice-oriented software and hardware tools.”

Due to the pandemic, iSYSTEM will not be having an official celebration for their 35th anniversary. “We are missing the face-to-face meetings and fruitful discussions with our customers and partner companies “, Erol Simsek mentioned. “And as soon as things return to normal, we will celebrate with our employees, families and partners – we all deserve it!”
