Linux distribution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ELinOS is a commercial development environment for embedded Linux. It consists of a Linux distribution for the target embedded system and development tools for a development host computer. The development host computer usually is a standard desktop computer running Linux or Windows. The Linux system and the application software for the target device are both created on the development host.

ELinOS focuses on industrial applications with a strong focus on security.[2][3] Therefore ELinOS uses the Linux kernel and provides tools and configurations to simplify the development of embedded targets. Userspace applications are provided as pre-compiled binaries in order to save time for compilation. Most of the ELinOS software packages are open source and licensed under the GPL.
ELinOS provides embedded Linux as a standalone operating system or it can be integrated into the PikeOS virtualization platform if safety and security demands cannot be met by Linux alone. The latter might be the case if a certification according to a strict industry standard is required.
Eclipse is the technical basis for the functionality provided by the integrated development environment (IDE) on the development host.
ELinOS was first published in 1999. A free ELinOS Test Version can be downloaded.
