LinuxLink Subscriptions Explained

LinuxLink simplifies Linux software platform development by collecting and testing various Linux components and adding them to a LinuxLink Repository on a daily basis. LinuxLink uses the most up-to-date kernels, toolchains, and packages to assemble what you need for your application. LinuxLink offers a wealth of educational material -- technical documentation, whitepapers, webinars, podcast episodes, and training. Additionally, TimeSys engineers are available to support you. Subscribers can take advantage of LinuxLink to easily perform tasks related to building an embedded Linux software platform:

Bring up Linux on a reference board quickly using LinuxLink Reference Distributions.
Start with a pre-configured kernel with patches enabling devices on the target processor.
Customize the root filesystem (RFS) using packages pre-compiled for the target processor.
Set up a development environment using tools from the LinuxLink Repository.
Run thousands of pre-packaged tests on the custom applications and Linux software platform.
Use the profiling suite to profile kernel, drivers, packages and applications running on the target board.
Find answers to embedded Linux development questions with 24x7 access to the LinuxLink Knowledge Base.
Interact with TimeSys engineers for guidance throughout the project's lifecycle.

A LinuxLink subscription entitles you to access to the following features for a specific processor:

A ready to use embedded Linux Reference Distribution
Various Linux components from the web-based Repository
Tools for platform customization and development
An online build facility to help you customize your Linux software platform
TimeStorm, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
LVS, a testing framework and test suites to test your Linux platform
A knowledge base containing documentation, technical articles, online books, and more
Email alerts on topics of interest
Community Support via forums and mailing lists
Support with Service Level Assurance from TimeSys experts

The LinuxLink Repository is a web location that holds all the files that can be downloaded with a subscription for your processor. The Repository includes:

Reference Distributions - ready to load and boot
Kernels and Patches - pre-built or ready to customize with sources with and without Real-Time capabilities
Packages - hundreds of applications and libraries, available as source and pre-built binaries (glibc or uClibc), with dependencies resolved
Tools - cross-compile, build, profile, test, and debug for Linux and Windows hosts
Device Drivers - Patches that add support for devices on supported reference boards
Testware - a collection of test suites to test your Linux software platform

TimeStorm

TimeStorm is an Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE), designed specifically for embedded Linux development. It allows you to:

Add, modify, and delete code components to easily build a custom root filesystem, with dependency checking
Configure the kernel using the point-and-click interface
Integrate LinuxLink or other GNU tools into your project automatically
Perform remote debugging of your applications
Profile kernel and user space performance to eliminate bottlenecks
Validate your system with comprehensive test suites
Use a single GUI-based tool for both your platform and application developers, across both Linux and Windows workstations.
