Combining uClinux with our powerful, cost-effective processors lets you take advantage of the wide array of open-source applications already written for uClinux. You can develop new products and enter new markets more quickly and with a lower investment.
uClinux is the most popular open-source operating system (OS) for embedded applications. A derivative of the familiar Linux OS, this versatile OS has been successfully ported to numerous platforms. It has been used by a wide community of engineers and programmers for almost ten years and is supported by extensive (C-language) libraries.
We offer the popular, free-to-download uClinux OS on a 16-bit platform, enabling cost-effective yet high-performance solutions. The uClinux open-source operating system runs natively on our baseband processor. The latest version of uClinux - based on the Linux kernel release 2.6 - is ported onto the baseband IC's 16-bit CompactRISC™ processor. The OS is delivered as source code, supported by a complete software development environment with test plan and full documentation.
