6 | |||
7 | <para>Enea<trademark class="registered"></trademark> Linux is based on the | ||
8 | open source configuration system Yocto which is becoming the de facto | ||
9 | standard for building and configuring embedded Linux. Yocto development is | ||
10 | coordinated by the Yocto Project which was initiated by the Linux | ||
11 | Foundation.</para> | ||
12 | |||
13 | <para>The Yocto-based development environment of Enea Linux allows you to | ||
14 | build embedded Linux kernels and tool chains on a Linux host. It aids you in | ||
15 | customizing embedded Linux kernels for a specific hardware architecture, and | ||
16 | in building and troubleshooting embedded Linux applications on targets or | ||
17 | emulated in QEMU.</para> | ||
18 | |||
19 | <para>Enea Linux also provides verified and easily installed board support | ||
20 | packages (BSP) for a number of hardware architectures. Each BSP includes a | ||
21 | Linux kernel and a root filesystem (rootfs), plus a number of packages that | ||
22 | can be extended on request.</para> | ||
23 | |||
24 | <para>Providing true open source Linux with customer interests in mind, is | ||
25 | the cornerstone for Enea when supplying Enea Linux. We provide:</para> | ||

29 | <para>A Yocto compatible environment, familiar for those who have used | ||
30 | Yocto from any other distribution.</para> | ||

34 | <para>The Enea Linux environment is fully independent from hardware | ||
35 | vendor leverage and does not push for a particular hardware | ||
36 | architecture.</para> | ||

40 | <para>Enea has initiated and contributes the ptest package test | ||
41 | framework to the Yocto Project. Enea also uses ptest to verify the | ||
42 | packages on target.</para> | ||

46 | <para>By using, testing Yocto and sharing Linux patches with upstream | ||
47 | projects, Enea assists the open source community in providing mature | ||
48 | software in less time. As an Enea Linux user, you are welcome to contribute | ||
49 | to the global development of Linux by propagating your Linux patches through | ||
50 | Enea.</para> | ||
51 | |||
52 | <para>Enea can also assist a customer by analyzing source code and producing | ||
53 | valid open source reports, as required by the community when open source | ||
54 | components are used.</para> | ||
