No operating system support will be given for EMAC OE without verification of purchase of SBC, media, and installation at the time of purchase. Please contact us at for information on available packages.ĮMAC provides free installation and one-year of basic operating system technical support for EMAC OE with the purchase of single board computers with suitable media. If the customer intends on purchasing the build on a ongoing basis, an image of the build can be archived under a unique part number (see Customized Builds) and ordered again and again with no additional build charges. Multiple identical SBCs with the same build on a single order are only charged one time. When Optional Linux Packages are required, we assess a build fee for these optional packages once per build configuration per order. And if you do encounter problems, you can talk to someone experienced with Linux, and familiar with our distribution. This allows you to focus on your application, instead of on time consuming configuration and testing. When you purchase an EMAC SBC with EMAC OE Linux, the board comes ready to boot, and all of the drivers have been setup for any standard peripherals that you may have purchased from EMAC. These systems are also referred to as GNU/Linux.

Most Linux systems are a combination of the Linux kernel, GNU Utilities ( ), and other software libraries and Open Source projects. Unix-like operating systems utilizing the Linux kernel are loosely referred to as Linux systems. Linux is used in an extremely wide variety of devices such as industrial embedded systems, appliances, cell phones, desktop systems, and mainframe servers. The project was originally started by Linus Torvalds and now has a very large community of developers and users all around the world. Linux is an open source operating system kernel. The EMAC OE Linux distribution with the Linux kernel is fully supported, and for use with virtually all of EMAC's Single Board Computers (SBCs). EMAC has been offering our Linux distribution for the embedded systems market since 1998, and has been thoroughly tested and tuned in various customer and internal applications. At EMAC, we use Linux for off-the-shelf products, custom applications, and major projects.
