ARC Linux

Why Linux ?

Embedded Linux offers unmatched time-to-market and flexibility advantages for consumer and communication devices. Device Manufacturers are increasingly turning to Linux and its variants for increased RoI in today's dynamic, fast-changing markets. ARC's extensible processor cores can be easily tailored to meet stringent requirements for computational performance, Digital Signal Processing, I/O throughput, power consumption, silicon area and cost. Codito's Linux solution on the ARC cores offers Developers and Device Manufacturers the combination of a small die-size processor supported by an industry standard and royalty-free operating system for their next generation devices. Embedded Products on the ARC core can benefit from many man-years of development, testing and quality control that are intrinsic to the Open Source Development Model, significantly reducing costs and product risks. Embedded Linux on the ARC platform allows leveraging of numerous Open Source and Standards based Applications and Application Components that already have a large existing user and developer base.

The Codito Advantage
