- DESCRIPTION: There is a need for a robust Linux OS that targets true embedded devices. For many embedded applications a device like the Raspberry Pi or Samsung Artik 10 is much too large. There are many development boards coming out that couple a micro-controller with a micro-processor side connected over an onboard serial connection, and many use custom builds of OpenWRT on the micro-processor side (Arduino Yun, Arduino Industrial 101, Tessel 2, etc). This turns into lots of disparate, custom made OpenWRT/LEDE based systems, but ultimately it's a lot of overhead for a small team to maintain their own build of OpenWRT (which is mainly focused on routers anyways). Having a tiny embedded Ubuntu on the boards (that then talks to our Ubuntu systems on AWS/Google Cloud) would save a lot of duplicated effort.
