Kernel

Timesys saves you time by providing kernels that are pre-patched with hardware-specific drivers from both the semiconductor manufacturers and community, fixes and enhancements from Timesys engineers, and where applicable, customer-submitted patches. The kernels are verified and tested with a current LTP test suite. For those who prefer, Timesys maintains a git tree where patches can be individually applied by the customer.

Packages & Libraries

Timesys maintains more than 1000 packages in its repository. Each package is pulled from its upstream project, making the latest fixes and enhancements available to customers. Our automated update notification service notifies users when packages they have included in their builds are updated. This selective notification ensures that relevant update information is not lost in a mass of irrelevant update notices. As with the toolchain, older versions may be selected in the Factory for those customers not ready to upgrade.

Bootloaders

Where applicable, Timesys hosts bootloaders for select processors and associated development kits. Whether hosted by Timesys or delivered "on-board," all Timesys Linux platforms are built and tested for compatibility with the semiconductor partner's suggested bootloader.
