Ginzinger Embedded Linux Development Kits
Start development without waiting for the hardware! With the right development kits, testing and software development can run in parallel with hardware development.

With the Ginzinger Embedded Linux Development Kits you can take your first steps in product development and test desired functions without having to wait long. Even before your device hardware is customized, you can easily develop, test and evaluate your software and find out which components you need in the device. GELin, the Ginzinger Embedded Linux Distribution, is the robust hardware and software platform for customized embedded systems.
Why it pays to start with the software early
- Early function tests: software can be tested on a scalable platform.
- Real-time optimization: performance analyses are running before the series hardware is available.
- Seamless transition: drivers and interfaces are already integrated – fewer surprises later.
- Faster market readiness: the hardware is there, the software is ready – bring on the launch.
