LinuxLink for Overo COMs
LinuxLink from Timesys provides both a cloud- and a desktop-based software framework for Linux-based product development, deployment and maintenance using Gumstix Overo COMs.
The LinuxLink FREE Edition is a cloud-based offering that engineers can use to build custom Linux BSPs/SDKs for evaluating their reference boards. For full product development on your host/desktop and advanced customization capabilities, please try the LinuxLink PRO Edition which includes unmetered Linux support.
The combination of LinuxLink and Overo processors brings together two products that have an identical focus on providing customers easy to use offerings that help them bring products to market faster and at a significantly lower cost than traditional approaches.
Timesys' free BSP and subscription-based offerings are provided on the following Gumstix Overo COMs:
Overo Earth/EarthSTORM COM
Overo Air/AirSTORM COM
Overo Water/WaterSTORM COM
Overo Fire/FireSTORM COM
