We have been using the “roll-your-own” method for Linux development, but have found there are a lot of hidden costs and delays with this approach.

The distribution that I get with my hardware isn’t always current or complete. Updating, completing, and testing have become significant factors in getting projects done on time and budget.

We are considering standardizing on a commercial Linux solution, but we need a reliable partner who knows our industry and can deliver the support services we need, when we need them.

While Linux can be downloaded for free, it takes considerable effort and expense to integrate and validate Linux. The result: Your engineers spend valuable time on integration and getting pieces “up and running”—rather than on value-add differentiation. Wind River’s Commercial Grade Linux provides out-of-box board support packages and reference target runtimes, so developers can begin programming almost immediately. And Wind River Linux is fully integrated, tested, validated, and maintained, making ongoing Linux maintenance worry-free.

The distribution that ships with a hardware reference solution is often not based on the most recent Linux kernel. Once a developer updates that kernel, the device drivers also need to be updated. Developers can have a problem finding updated device drivers and may struggle with code that is not well supported by the Linux community. Wind River Linux offers an integrated, tested, and validated Linux 2.6 distribution that combines a high-performance, preemptible kernel environment with a full range of networking applications, files systems, and security features. Combined with our integrated, Eclipse-based development suite, the Wind River Linux platform offers unmatched resources for Linux development.
