FAMILY SOLUTIONS

Fast boot to Linux Kernel 2.6

Our NXP/Freescale i.MX286 embedded products run Linux 2.6.35 kernel out of the box from Micro SD cards, as well as an initial ramdisk for a very fast boot and a Debian Wheezy distribution for complete software support. Linux is highly recommended and our products embrace the open-source vision. There is no proprietary source code in the kernel since all the hardware specific functionalities are handled by user-space utilities. The complete hardware support provided by Linux enables quick application development.

Debian Wheezy for Embedded Development

The Debian Wheezy environment provides a powerful, stable, and familiar software stack, with over 28,000 ready-to-use software packages. It includes many common interpreters such as Python, Mono (C#), Ruby, PHP, TCL, Perl, Java, and Bash. Debian also includes the GNU Compiler Collection, allowing C/C++ on-board development.
