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>

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>

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>

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>
