The popular portal site features a broad spectrum of embedded Linux topics including news, articles, events, links, jobs, polls, an interactive forum, and product information—all targeted to Linux-based embedded system developers. LinuxDevices.com carries up-to-date information about Linux-related single-board computers, chips, tools, and support, and highlights a wide variety of embedded, real-time, and small-footprint Linux implementations, including both commercial distributions and open source projects.
