ELinOS Industrial Grade Linux Overview
Versatile Embedded Linux
Creating an Embedded Linux based system is like a puzzle. Putting the right pieces together will create the final image. But fitting the pieces together takes time for try-and-error and deep knowledge about the final picture. ELinOS Industrial Grade Linux is the experiences guide for your Embedded Linux puzzle. ELinOS incorporates the appropriate tools to help you build the system and boost your project success, including a graphical configuration front-end with a built-in integrity validation and a quickstart editor.
Application Development
Developing embedded applications requires different support from the development environment than developing standard applications. Remote debugging, target memory utilization analysis and timing behavior are features that an embedded developer almost always need, in addition to standard application development. With CODEO, SYSGO offers a complete development environment for the embedded application development.
Service and Support
Providing an outstanding support and a broad range of services was the fundament of the success of ELinOS in the past years. With ELinOS Industrial Grade Linux we extend this support consequently to serve your needs more precisely. SYSGO strengthens its online support and training capabilities to accommodate the ongoing globalization of project teams.
