Industrial embedded systems, ranging from payment terminals and medical devices to process control equipment, are becoming increasingly sophisticated and run on an ever diverse set of hardware and software platforms. In the world of embedded, handheld and wireless devices, there are many hardware and software design changes taking place. Many devices now feature 32-bit microprocessors from Intel, MIPS and Motorola, as well as larger LCD graphical displays.This directly translates into increasing complexity for  manufacturers to create new applications and maintain existing ones.

Linux on embedded systems brings with it the entire power of desktop computing, along with many solutions already running. Savoir-faire Linux uses Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) for most of its solutions, such as: GNU, Linux, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, µClinux, eCos, RTEMS, FreeRTOS, Open Embedded, Busybox / Buildroot, OpenWRT, Android, Meego, Qt, Mongoose, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, OpenSC, Gnome, Squid, OpenGL, GStreamer, VLC, SDL, Cairo, Video4Linux, and many other tried and trusted software.

Advantages of using Free/Libre and Open Source Software:

• no license or royalty costs
• no vendor lock-in
• access to many drivers, libraries and protocol stacks
• full access to all source code, full control over your project

• Customized solutions
• ISO 9001 quality standards
• Quality assurance and control as per international standards
• Continuous innovation through Research & Development
