Managing Embedded Linux Versatility
Creating an Embedded Linux based system is like a puzzle. Putting the right pieces together will create the final image. This requires a deep knowledge of Linux' versatility and takes time for the selection of components, development of Board Support Packages and drivers, and testing of the whole system – and not only for newcomers. With ELinOS Industrial Grade Linux, SYSGO offers an ‘out-of-the-box’ experience which allows you to concentrate your full attention on the development of your target applications. ELinOS incorporates the appropriate tools to help you build the system and boost your project success, including a graphical configuration front-end with built-in integrity validation.
