Embedded Slackware is a software development kit for the automated creation of bootable embedded systems based on Slackware and Busybox. The focus is on i486 and ARM systems that use compact flash devices (handhelds and PC104 type boards). The distribution consists of a primary archive with...

polyBSD is a "multi"-purpose (hence "poly") framework for building embedded systems based on NetBSD. Of the three major *BSD flavors, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are often in the spotlight. FreeBSD is touted for its stability, while OpenBSD usually claims the title of the most secure operatin system...

Virgil projetc is an new, object-oriented, light-weight programming language that is designed for building software for resource-constrained embedded systems at the lowest level. Microcontroller programmers can now develop complete software systems, including hardware drivers and OS services, in...

The Contiki Operating System is mostly known as an operating system for networked embedded systems. A few years ago, however, Contikis primary claim to fame was its Commodore 64 port. With the help of JAC64, a Java-based C64 emulator developed by my colleague and fellow Contiki developer Joakim...

KernelKit is a Knoppix GNU/Linux derivative targetting the development of Linux kernel and drivers, as well as Free Sofware embedded systems. It is currently being used in our Embedded Linux Training sessions. Differences with standard Knoppix GNU/Linux: - Removed applications not related to...


Platforms: *nix

QP is a lightweight, portable framework/RTOS for embedded systems. The project enables the implementation of concurrent UML state machines (state charts) directly in C or C++ without big tools. It can be used with or without a traditional OS and runs on Linux, Win32, and uC/OS. It can also be...


Platforms: *nix

PTXdist is a build system ("executable documentation") for compiling root filesystems for embedded systems. PTXdist is based on a KConfig configuration system in combination with a set of rules which describe how all the source packages out there have to be tweaked to be compiled into a proper...


Platforms: *nix

FreeWRT project is a meta GNU/Linux distribution for embedded systems. In this context "meta" means, you can build the complete distribution from source. FreeWRT is meant to be an appliance development kit (ADK) especially designed for embedded system developers and advanced users. The FreeWRT...
