Part 2 // Defining Market Grade Requirements

Requirements differ by market for intelligent edge devices. An enterprise or data center–centric Linux solution won’t cut it for embedded markets such as automotive, industrial, or aerospace and defense. Learn what is vital for strictly regulated markets.

Open source has become a game changer for innovation, from the data center to the far edge. Software developers use open source Linux because of its ease of access, flexibility, and leading-edge technologies. It also has one of the largest and most prolific communities, with vast amounts of resources. At the intelligent edge, where devices and systems have mission-critical functionality, Linux adoption has lagged behind other markets. But the momentum is shifting, and Linux has the potential to lead the way for a massive transformation of the embedded industry.
