The three mainstream OS: Linux, Android and WinCE are commonly used in the embedded RISC market. Advantech RISC products choose Linux as the default OS with Android, Windows Embedded as alternative OS on demand. As is well known, Linux is the most stable and widely used open source OS in the embedded market. Android is the most popular OS in the consumer market, and WinCE is the most established OS and supports modualized development tools that facilitate AP development and SW/HW integration. To streamline your development process, Advantech offers multiple embedded OS packages and various SW support services to make your development process easier.
