Mentor Embedded Linux maximizes developer productivity with industry leading partnerships, powerful developer tools, and a powerful new approach to harnessing the power of open source and Linux for engineering effectiveness.

Mentor Embedded Linux offers developers a new approach to benefit from the vast world of open source software without the trade-offs associated with existing options. Traditional commercial Linux vendors bind developers to a limited set of customization options preventing projects from fully adapting the commercial product to their project requirements. The “roll-your-own” Linux option introduces business risk by distracting development teams from their value-add contributions to the design.

Mentor Embedded brings a new third option that fully empowers developers to create their own unique product platform with the commercial support of Mentor Embedded.
