Download the Factory data sheet.

The Timesys Embedded Linux Factory is designed to ease the task of creating an embedded Linux platform. With the Timesys Factory build-to-order web tool, developers can quickly and easily build a custom platform regardless of their level of experience. Factory enables developers to focus on the next step in their project – the development of their application – with less time focusing on the Linux platform development process. The key benefits of Factory include:

• Easy to Use
  • Web-based interface that utilizes wizard-oriented tools eliminates the curve associated with other tools
  • Command-line compatible, so it works well with common Linux utilities such as “make”
  • Click on an item to access descriptions, version info, license info (packages), build time (packages), dependencies(packages) and tips from Timesys
  • Forums enable sharing of experiences, tips and insights with Timesys and other users
• Saves Time
  • Analyzes sizes so users know if the platform will fit within given size constraints
  • Provides users with options and advice for reducing the root filesystem (RFS) footprint
  • Dependency and conflict checking toolchains point out conflicts that can cause development delays
  • Optimizes RFS build by including only those packages which are necessary
  • Offers a variety of RFS output options and file formats
• Lowers Risk
  • Analyzes each build and makes recommendations based on Timesys’ experience and a popularity index
  • Ensures repeatability by maintaining strict version information and environments
  • Support services available throughout every step of the process.
