Open Source Software

Open source software is one of the fundamental reasons for using Linux. There is an extensive array of software that is available for use with Linux. Linux itself and as well as much of the open source software is available for use under the GPL or LGPL licenses. These licenses grant the user the freedom to run the software, to modify it and to distribute the software.

Some of the open source software packages that are commonly used in embedded systems or to develop embedded systems include:

  • GCC, GDB
  • Eclipse IDE framework
  • Linux
  • Bootloaders
  • Protocol stacks
  • Servers such as telnet, ftp, http
  • Busybox utilities
  • C libraries such as newlib and uClibc
  • RTAI for hard real-time
