SoftwarE

Every gumstix motherboard ships with a copy of Linux preinstalled in its onboard flash. While this software is quite powerful right out of the box, developers often find that they have a need for additional software to support their application. In many cases a small number of standard open source software packages will meet their needs.

Through the use of a powerful package management tool, it is possible to download prebuilt binaries for hundreds of the most popular open source packages. This same package management tool also makes it easy to update software in the field.

Often a developer needs to customize the standard gumstix product beyond what is possible through these open source packages. In these cases custom software development is required.

Gumstix uses the powerful OpenEmbedded development environment. Developers will find it to be an extremely capable tool for developing and maintaining their custom embedded applications.

Hardware

Gumstix motherboards provide a powerful head start to any embedded device developer. A variety of expansion boards are available to aid in rapidly prototyping embedded device concepts. Schematics are provided for all expansion boards. This enables the hardware developer to leverage proven designs for core I/O functions, and allows him to concentrate on the unique custom circuitry required for his application.
