Overview
This webinar will discuss the current challenges of embedded Linux system development, and how these challenges are met using System Builder.
Open source build systems have been around for a long time in many different forms. Mentor Embedded Linux System Builder is the next-generation development environment for building embedded Linux systems. System Builder is a system integration tool based on the open source OpenEmbedded project which has grown, in part, out of the limitations of the previous generation of Linux build systems.
