Both Linux OS and Windows OS (Windows XP) can be built to embedded systems, which brings benefits such as more secure performance and easily operation.
Undoubtedly, Linux Embedded has some inherent advantages over Windows Embedded.
- Linux Embedded inherits features from Linux or UNIX OS and Windows Embedded inherit features from Windows. Confessedly, Linux or Unix OS features with excellent stability and secure, that is the reason why most telecommunication companies and banks utilize UNIX servers.
- Linux Embedded OS is more efficient than Windows XP Embedded. We can make a Linux Embedded OS with size less than 64MB, including DVR applications and necessary drivers. But it is difficult to make a Windows XP Embedded system less than 200MB. Obviously, the smaller the OS is, the more efficient the system loading and running.
- Our Linux Embedded OS can run on memory, instead of HDD, IDE flash disk or USB disk. It means the OS do not need to read from or write to disk when system is running (except system initializing and exiting). Apparently, this dramatically reduces the possibility of disk error, and leads to more stability.
- With our unique technology, Linux Embedded system shall be bootable from USB disk, instead of HDD. In the situation of system fault, you can instant restart the machine by inserting a bootable USB disk, saving time of open box and system debugging.
With these inherent advantages, customer will experience following benefits when using our Linux embedded system:
- More stable and secure
- More efficient system loading and running
- Instant recover through bootable USB disk
