<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Welcome to Enea<trademark class="registered"></trademark> Linux</para>
<para>Enea<trademark class="registered"></trademark> Linux is based on the
open source configuration system Yocto which is becoming the de facto
standard for building and configuring embedded Linux. Yocto development is
coordinated by the Yocto Project which was initiated by the Linux
Foundation.</para>
<para>The Yocto-based development environment of Enea Linux allows you to
build embedded Linux kernels and tool chains on a Linux host. It aids you in
customizing embedded Linux kernels for a specific hardware architecture, and
in building and troubleshooting embedded Linux applications on targets or
emulated in QEMU.</para>
<para>Enea Linux also provides verified and easily installed board support
packages (BSP) for a number of hardware architectures. Each BSP includes a
Linux kernel and a root filesystem (rootfs), plus a number of packages that
can be extended on request.</para>
<para>Providing true open source Linux with customer interests in mind, is
the cornerstone for Enea when supplying Enea Linux. We provide:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A Yocto compatible environment, familiar for those who have used
Yocto from any other distribution.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Enea Linux environment is fully independent from hardware
vendor leverage and does not push for a particular hardware
architecture.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Enea has initiated and contributes the ptest package test
framework to the Yocto Project. Enea also uses ptest to verify the
packages on target.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>By using, testing Yocto and sharing Linux patches with upstream
projects, Enea assists the open source community in providing mature
software in less time. As an Enea Linux user, you are welcome to contribute
to the global development of Linux by propagating your Linux patches through
Enea.</para>
<para>Enea can also assist a customer by analyzing source code and producing
valid open source reports, as required by the community when open source
components are used.</para>
