TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

Products built on embedded systems are now ubiquitous, powering devices ranging from small control and measurement units to high end home entertainment systems.

Linux is the natural choice for high performance embedded systems, with native support for architectures such as ARM, Mips and PowerPC.

The array of developer tools and vast library support makes it quick and painless to get a system up and running, allowing developers to focus on their product.
