![]() |
LinuxLink FREE Edition is Timesys’s award-winning cloud-based edition that enables developers to quickly boot embedded Linux on their development kit or reference board — without having to first set up a development environment. |
Launch your embedded Linux product development fast with the FREE Edition irrespective of whether you are new to Linux or an expert.
- No need to waste time configuring and compiling tools and programs from dozens of sources.
- Don’t be restricted by the limited functionality included in the free Linux provided by board/semi vendors.
- Use one tool to evaluate multiple processors — you do not have to learn a different build system for each board you are evaluating.
And best of all, it is completely free.
Use the FREE Edition to assemble a proven Linux platform for your project within a few minutes. You can choose to create an initial build by using a "starting point" or create a new build from scratch. Timesys starting points are prebuilt so they can be used immediately or they can be used as a template for a custom platform.
Within a couple of hours, you’ll be alerted via email that your Linux image has been built and is ready for pick-up, including associated sources. And, with the FREE Edition, you’ll be running a bootable image on your target within a day.
