"Découvrez les fondamentaux de Linux embarqué, un système d’exploitation open source, léger et modulable, utilisé dans l’IoT, les objets connectés, les systèmes industriels ou médicaux. Technology and Strategy vous accompagne dans vos projets innovants grâce à son expertise technique.
At a conference held on March 03, 2025, Fabien Laouder, head of the Embedded Linux practice at Technology and Strategy, presented the basics of this technology. His objective: make the subject accessible and show how Linux can be a real source of innovation for your projects.
Embedded Linux is a lightweight operating system that runs directly on electronic hardware. It acts as an intermediary layer between the hardware and the applications: it manages memory, storage, network connections, the graphical interface and more.
How does it differ from conventional systems? It's open source, which means it's free and fully customizable. It can be modified on demand to meet the exact needs of a specific product or application.
We all use Linux-based systems without necessarily knowing it. This is the case with Android on smartphones, Tizen in Samsung's connected TVs, or Freebox, the Internet box system. Even Ubuntu, well known in the developer world, is a derivative of Linux.
Linux leads in fields where performance and reliability are essential. All the world's most powerful supercomputers run on Linux. It is present on more than half of all web servers. And in the world of embedded systems - such as medical devices, highway signs or connected objects - it has become indispensable.
One of Linux's greatest assets is its flexibility. You can create a tailor-made distribution, perfectly adapted to specific hardware, with just the components you need. Tools such as Yocto or Buildroot make it easy to build an optimized version of Linux, designed for a given product or use.
- We take charge of all software development, from bootloader to final application. This includes needs analysis, architecture design, hardware driver development, and application optimization to guarantee both performance and security.
- We also set up continuous integration and industrialization chains. This enables us to manage software evolutions smoothly, while ensuring reliable, reproducible and scalable production. We are involved at every stage: source management, compilation, target testing, system and data provisioning, right through to production deployment.
- Finally, we provide long-term software maintenance, including open source updates, project upgrades and deployment services. This ensures that your systems remain up-to-date, stable and secure.
Our experts are used to working in challenging sectors such as the automotive, telecoms, rail and medical industries. Whether you're starting a new project or looking to improve an existing system, we're here to support you with concrete solutions tailored to your objectives.
Flexible, powerful and customizable, embedded Linux is the solution of choice for many projects. With the expertise of Technology and Strategy, you'll benefit from a solid foundation for exploiting its full potential.
