ELDK by DENX offers a robust software development environment for Real-Time and Embedded Systems.
In addition, the firmware is easily portable to new boards and processors. The tool also includes the Linux kernel, along with all device drivers and board-support functions. For systems requiring hard real-time responses, the addition of RTAI (Real-Time Application Interface) further strengthens the development experience.
DENX ELDK incorporates a Simple Embedded Linux Framework (SELF) as the foundation for building runtime environments for embedded systems. The tool has complete source code under GPL or other free software licenses and is available for free.
This version of DENX ELDK features notable upgrades, including Linux kernel 2.6.15, New Tools: GCC 4.0, glibc 2.3.5, and Binutils 2.16.1. The tool supports both NPTL and LinuxThreads and is based on Dan Kegel's "Crosstool" and the Fedora Core 4 distribution. DENX ELDK also features support for recent Linux distributions such as Fedora Core 4 and AMCC Eval Boards.
Overall, DENX ELDK is a robust tool that empowers developers to create powerful software solutions for Embedded and Real-Time Systems.
