Mentor Embedded Linux
Harness the power of open source
Mentor Embedded Linux brings a new approach that fully empowers developers to create their own unique product platform with powerful tools that maximize developer productivity, all backed by commercial support.
Flexibility and Control with Reduced Business Risk and Better Tools
Mentor Embedded Linux maximizes developer productivity with industry leading partnerships, powerful developer tools, and a powerful new approach to harnessing the power of open source and Linux for engineering effectiveness.
Mentor Embedded Linux offers developers a new approach to benefit from the vast world of open source software without the trade-offs associated with existing options. Traditional commercial Linux vendors bind developers to a limited set of customization options preventing projects from fully adapting the commercial product to their project requirements. The “roll-your-own” Linux option introduces business risk by distracting development teams from their value-add contributions to the design.
Mentor Embedded brings a new third option that fully empowers developers to create their own unique product platform with the commercial support of Mentor Embedded.
