About Olmec Linux™

Olmec Tux

Olmec Linux is a managed embedded Linux distribution that is aimed at achieving the right balance of freshness and stability for the embedded market. Olmec Linux draws from the best of both the traditional embedded Linux methodologies and mainstream Linux distributions.

Olmec Linux provides all of the tools and capabilities needed to meet the most demanding embedded applications, and the ability to go from concept to product in the absolute minimum time.

First

Feature Rich & Configurable

Olmec Linux is a full featured Linux distribution with thousands of packages already available. Olmec Linux is highly configurable so you can create configurations that contain only the subset of functionality needed for your application. In addition to a rich set of features, Olmec Linux also provides the tools and processes for building and maintaining a Linux based embedded product.

Second

Rich Development Environment

Olmec Linux provides a rich development environment along with the tools and customizations needed to deploy your product. Olmec Linux avoids the additional complexity of cross compilers by providing a virtual machine environment for your target architecture. This allows you to develop code for your target natively.

Third

Olmec Workbench

Olmec Linux provides the Olmec Workbench to guide developers through the process of configuring and building their system software.

Fourth

Embedded Systems Focus

Olmec Linux is released based on criteria that are more appropriate for embedded systems, instead of general purpose systems.
