BlueCat® open-source embedded Linux® from LynuxWorks™

BlueCat® embedded Linux® from LynuxWorks™

BlueCat® Linux® is first embedded-Linux distribution to incorporate the 2.6 kernel.

BlueCat® Linux® is an implementation of the Linux model enhanced for use in embedded systems ranging from small consumer-type devices to large-scale, multi-CPU systems.

BlueCat Embedded Linux 5.x features

  • Preemptible kernel— preemption points in the kernel allow you to suspend an executing process so that you can launch another, higher-priority process.
  • Low-latency scheduler— ensures that processes are executed, giving users increased determinism
  • Improved POSIX® threading support— open-standards ideology providing compatibility of applications over different architectures, complementing our LynxOS strategy
  • POSIX timers— time and alarm management needed for real-time. Applications requiring high throughput or fast response time would benefit from these high-resolution timers

BlueCat Linux delivers the flexibility and cost benefits of open-source software.

It's uniquely constructed to be a stable, commercial-grade embedded operating system release which provides immediate productivity and optimized performance.
