Alongside the programme launch partners, TimeSys is proving that LinuxLink has changed the model for embedded Linux development.
System integrators, like other TimeSys customers, no longer need to choose between spending large amounts of time upfront to build a distribution from scratch and spending large amounts of money for a specific commercial distribution with inflexible support options.
LinuxLink by TimeSys gives them the tools needed to quickly get up and running, without the high cost of other commercial solutions.
"Joining the ASIP programme makes perfect sense for Proelec", said Hagan Grip, Managing Director of Proelec.
"LinuxLink reduces our development time and provides the flexibility we need for our projects".

"The ASIP programme delivers a unique value, combining highly capable system integrators and the rich set of content and tools available from TimeSys", said Larry Weidman, President and CEO of TimeSys.
"With this programme, companies looking for service providers for their embedded device projects can still benefit from the advantages of LinuxLink".
