Cadenux offers porting services to get Linux running on your embedded hardware. In addition, we offer pre-built Board Support Packages (BSPs) for common hardware platforms.

Complementing the rich features of Embedded Linux, Cadenux also offers RTEMS as a small-footprint alternative RTOS. RTEMS is ideal in certain, deeply-embedded, real-time applications using POSIX or uITRON interfaces. Similar porting services and pre-built Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.

If the processor you are using in your embedded device does not have a memory management unit (MMU), our XFLAT shared library technology allows your applications to link dynamically to libraries. Dynamic linking eliminates storing multiple copies of library functions in flash and also eliminates storing multiple copies of those library functions in RAM. Together, these memory savings can help reduce the bill-of-materials for your device and leave more resources available for additional functionality and enhanced performance.

The licensing for certain software packages (including LGPL licensed libraries like uClibc) may compromise the legal status of your intellectual property if your applications are statically linked with such software libraries. XFLAT shared library technology supports dynamic linking in a manner that does not require you to disclose the intellectual property of your applications using LGPL licensed libraries. XFLAT shared library technology supports exception 6.B as described in the LGPL license.
