Lightweight Embedded Linux for the Intelligent Edge
Our Embedded Linux ELinOS is the most versatile and convenient to use development platform for the intelligent edge! Developers for embedded applications benefit from a comprehensive toolchain and professional life cycle services. Fast time-to-market via intelligent design makes your project successful and your devices smart.
Setting up an embedded Linux system has never been more straight forward and faster: ELinOS’ Feature Configurator makes it convenient deploying a fully functional feature-rich yet extremely lightweight embedded Linux distribution to a target system.
Smallest Memory Footprint – Fast Boot Time
The ELinOS Library Dependency Resolver automatically detects any library dependencies and includes missing libraries without any manual effort. Instead of integrating all library parts of a package, the Library Dependency Resolver only integrates required libraries.
Combined with the compact root file system (6 MiB), the ELinOS kernel (3 MiB), the usage of memory (2 MiB) and all other efforts to minimise the footprint, ELinOS is the embedded Linux distribution with a very small memory footprint that can boot in less than 2 seconds.
Feature Configurator
ELinOS comes with the versatile and most convenient to use build system. It takes less than five minutes to have a fully operational embedded Linux system running with every feature you need – but not a single dependency more. Due to its graphical wizards and handling configurations in the GUI, ELinOS is especially suitable when it comes to getting your custom-tailored embedded Linux to the market quickly.
It works by enabling you to select the desired features such as network support, graphics, etc. Depending on the choice, the feature configurator automatically creates the kernel configuration, adds user space applications and their related libraries as well as default configuration files. When you change your mind, the feature configurator removes the items and dependencies again, always providing a system with absolutely no overhead.
If you need full control, it is still possible to override certain settings by means of the graphical kernel configuration editor and via direct access to the embedded root file system.
Setting up an embedded Linux ELinOS Instance
ELinOS is the first choice if you want to focus on developing for embedded devices – without any overhead or lack of features.
Watch the Feature Configurator Video how to easily get your device running.
