X-Linux (original) (raw)
We have some projects/products using embedded Linux and engineers make it as X-Linux. It is for our customers need embedded Linux to start their development. X-Linux is maintained and improved since 2002. Bugs are fixed and customers can use it as their Linux application without embedded Linux platform setup. Because it does not provide full documents and tool-chain, developers needs to modify it manually.
