Embedded Linux 2.0
Reliable updates.
Robust security.
Faster, cheaper, better. Pick all 3.
Reduce the time to design, develop and launch your devices.
Lower the cost of development and maintenance.
Raise the quality and security of every component.
Save time
Developers are much more productive on Ubuntu than handcrafted embedded Linux.
Save money
Sharing a platform shares the cost. Licensing is cheaper, updates more tested and maintenance shared.
Raise quality
Familiar and widely used Ubuntu means easy CI/CD, better tools, faster updates and better kernels.
Pre-enabled boards
Linux is not a differentiator. Use pre-enabled boards and focus on software unique to your story.
Simplify operations
Managing a familiar environment and platform is easier and cheaper than a specialist OS. Naturally.
More talent
More Linux developers choose Ubuntu, so the talent pool is deeper and broader.
Developers drive success. Give them the platform they love.
More developers
Tap the biggest talent pool. Ubuntu is ahead of the pack by every measure.
More packages
Productivity starts with reuse. Accelerate developers with the world’s largest package selection.
Better tools
Every compiler and language developers use today is there, free, in Ubuntu.
Cloud compatible
Developers use Ubuntu in the cloud for CI/CD and build systems - iterate faster, deliver sooner.
Latest software
Ubuntu is renowned for being the place where you get the best and the latest bits.
Container friendly
The people who drive docker hardest do it on Ubuntu. Make cloud-native things.
Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Core
The popular Ubuntu Server is great for developers and system administrators.
The Ubuntu Core is an immutable, minimal, and strictly confined OS.
Security matters most
Any compromise of your device puts your reputation on the line. Get up to 15 years of automatic security updates for every major CVE, with hardening tools, automations, and profiles to meet the latest security standards.
Fast fixes
Canonical publishes security updates for Ubuntu every day. You choose when they get installed on your devices.
Binary package updates
Canonical builds and tests binary package updates for Ubuntu. No need to integrate a mountain of source code patches every year.
CVE tracking
A database of fixes supports your customer compliance policy by making it clear which issue is addressed in any update.
Trusted Compute
Ubuntu provides a verified boot sequence and full disk encryption with optional hardware keys.
Strict confinement
Keep your custom software strictly confined as snaps to ensure any problem stays isolated.
Up to 15 years maintenance
No other embedded Linux comes close to Canonical's commitment to long term security.
