Embedded Linux
Thanks to the appearance on the market of Application Processor even more performing, rich of built-in peripherals and even more cheap, in recent years we are assisting to a massive diffusion of products and solutions based on embedded platforms with a Linux operating system: automotive infotainment equipment, data loggers, industrial automation equipment, home automation solutions, networking, medical equipment are just some examples of application areas where more and more frequently we can find linux-based solutions. To the historical competitive advantage of a Linux based embedded solution, the absence of licensing costs, now we can add more important benefits: excellent performance levels, even in applications with close real-time requirements, ability to pick into a virtually infinite world of open source solutions, powered by increasingly populated and active communities, even in very specialized fields of application, a plurality of competing solutions, the availability of development board at very affordable costs and a engineered boards for modular solutions (SoM) optimized as cost and space, and designed to be easily and conveniently used even on a mass-production product, greatly simplifying design and production phases. Since several years we are working in product development based on Embedded Linux, and we can provide consolidated skills: |
