Linux SBCs

Embedded Linux Boards for Long-Life Systems

A Linux SBC runs the same kernel, drivers and open-source tools as the rest of your software stack, which keeps development and long-term maintenance under your control. Available on Intel Atom, Celeron, Pentium and Core processors and AMD Ryzen Embedded, in 1.8 inch, Pico-ITX, 3.5 inch and NUC formats, with the manufacturer listing Linux support for each board.

Options include fanless and extended-temperature designs, multiple Ethernet ports, M.2 expansion for wireless and storage and PoE-powered versions, suited to gateways, controllers, signage and medical devices built on an open-source stack.

Speak to an embedded board specialist to match the board, processor and Linux support to your software.

What to Specify in an Embedded Linux Board

Our embedded board specialists specify every Linux board against the enclosure, the software and the years the design has to stay in production. These are the choices we work through with you before recommending a range.

Kernel and Drivers

Confirm the kernel version and drivers the manufacturer supports for graphics, Ethernet and wireless.

Processor

Low-power Atom and Celeron for gateways and controllers, Intel Core or Ryzen Embedded for heavier workloads.

Storage

M.2 NVMe or SATA storage sized for the root file system, logs and updates.

Networking

Two or three Ethernet ports, 2.5GbE on newer boards, and M.2 sockets for Wi-Fi or cellular modules.

Environment

Extended-temperature and fanless designs for enclosures without active cooling.
