X-ES and the Linux Board Support Package (BSP)
X-ES supports Linux on its product line of x86-based, PowerPC, and ARM-based embedded processor boards. Linux has quickly become the operating system of choice for many embedded system applications due to its flexibility, breadth of hardware support, and open nature.
Maximum Flexibility and Support
Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs) from X-ES:
- Closely follow upstream sources including the mainline Linux kernel and silicon vendor support software
- Offer verified support tailored for on-card hardware
- Use standard kernel interfaces and conventions (where possible)
- Include documentation for getting up and running quickly
- Are developed to be open source and extensible, allowing you to customize when needed
X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL)
X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL) is an RPM-based Linux distribution designed for X-ES single board computers. XEL adds support for X-ES x86 platforms on top of a stable and widely used Linux base platform that is suitable for deployment in mission-critical applications.
