Choosing to develop on embedded linux
Embedded Linux product is ported on a microprocessor that runs Linux OS (operating system).
Embedded Linux OS contains only the most necessary modules of Linux, but supports advanced 3rd party libraries.
Developing an Embedded Linux product will not always be the right choice for you. This is because the microprocessor is more expansive than a microcontroller and is required to deal with a complex file system architecture. Additional development of kernel device drives may be needed.
Choosing to develop an Embedded Linux system is appropriate when you require one or more of the following:
- A robust programming platform.
- Your product needs advanced code libraries for Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Networking, etc.
- A peripheral device (sensor, printer, camera, etc) comes with precompiled Linux software or it requires a driver included in Linux OS.
- Your product works with virtual memory and needs a Memory Management Unit (MMU).
- Your product contains a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
- You need a simple distribution/redistribution or cross-compilation of the software.
