Embedded Alley Junction streamlines development of Linux-based devices. “The Junction is the intersection of OEM requirements, open source capabilities, and Embedded Alley Expertise,” noted Dan Malek, Embedded Alley CTO. “It represents a collaborative dialog that starts with helping our customers with prototyping and goes all the way through post-deployment support.” Points between include hardware design choices that impact software development, board bring-up, kernel coding and debug, driver development, application development and integration, test and QA.
“As an integral part of our unique Development System, Embedded Alley Junction is not just an-other social networking portal. Rather, the Junction helps device manufacturers navigate the complexities of the product lifecycle,” commented Pete Popov, Embedded Alley CEO. “The Junction, like our consulting practices and other services, empowers developers with the wealth of open source, instead of limiting them by product, project, or version.”
