Technology Concept
Embedded Linux
Robust, scalable, and open operating system for edge devices.
Key Advantage
"Full control over the software stack, from kernel drivers to user applications."
The Power of Open Source
Our systems run on customized Embedded Linux distributions (Buildroot). This provides a stable, secure, and highly configurable environment for running complex computer vision algorithms and managing hardware resources.
System Architecture
In an embedded context, the separation between Kernel Space (drivers, hardware abstraction) and User Space (applications like OpenCV or GStreamer) is critical for system stability.

Real-Time Capabilities
With patches like PREEMPT_RT, we can transform Linux into a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), ensuring deterministic response times for critical industrial control loops.
