ELinOS is a development environment for embedded Linux devices. It provides a seamless toolchain covering eve-
rything from the configuration of the Linux system software up to application development. ELinOS includes all
tools like cross-compiler, linker and debugger, comes with the adequate boot strategies, and is handled easily
thanks to its graphical tools. With the CoTools CODEO for application development and COGNITO for system
analysis ELinOS is now a complete IDE for embedded Linux development. All MEN PowerPC boards are integra-
ted into ELinOS and can be selected easily.
ELinOS is a product of SYSGO and comes along with SYSGO’s comprehensive support and consulting program.
Due to broad experience with safety-critical software and certification needs (i.e. DO-178B) SYSGO has the
knowledge to provide Linux solutions even in this area.

QNX Neutrino by QNX is supported on a wide range of MEN PowerPC and x86 platforms.
QNX Neutrino is a reliable, fault tolerant, scalable and true microkernel operating system. Under QNX Neutrino,
every driver, application, protocol stack, and file system runs outside the kernel, in the safety of memory-protec-
ted user space. As a result, virtually any component can fail – and be automatically restarted – without affecting
other components or the kernel.
