This article mainly introduces what type of operating system linux is, which has certain reference value and can be used for reference by friends who need it. I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Next, let the editor take you to learn about it.

Linux is an embedded operating system. Linux is an embedded operating system, which can run on PDAs, set-top boxes or game consoles, and can run on a variety of hardware platforms, such as platforms with x86, 680x0, SPARC, Alpha and other processors.

Embedded operating system (Embedded Operating System, referred to as: EOS) refers to the operating system used in embedded systems. Embedded operating system is a widely used system software, which usually includes hardware-related underlying driver software, system kernel, device driver interface, communication protocol, graphical interface, standardized browser and so on.

The embedded operating system is responsible for the allocation of all software and hardware resources, task scheduling, controlling and coordinating concurrent activities of the embedded system. It must reflect the characteristics of its system and be able to achieve the required functions of the system by loading and unloading some modules.

At present, the operating systems widely used in the embedded field are: embedded real-time operating system μ C/OS-II, embedded Linux, Windows Embedded, VxWorks and so on, as well as Android and iOS used in smart phones and tablet computers.

Embedded Linux

The system that makes appropriate modifications and deletions to Linux and can be used on embedded systems is the embedded Linux operating system. It has the following characteristics:

The Linux system is completely open and free. It is openness that enables it to be compatible with other systems, thus realizing the interconnection of information. And it can modify the source code at will, which other systems do not have.

The significant advantages of the Linux operating system are multi-user and multi-task. It ensures that the use of multiple users does not affect each other; after the multi-task is opened independently, it does not interfere with each other, which greatly improves the efficiency and gives full play to the performance.

The device is independent. As long as the driver is installed, with the support and help of the driver, any user can use and operate any device just like using files, which makes people do not have to consider the specific form of the existence of the device.

Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope it is helpful for everyone to share what type of operating system linux is. At the same time, I also hope you can support us, pay attention to the industry information channel, and find out if you have any problems. Detailed solutions are waiting for you to learn!
