ADLINK - Canonical To Pre-Certify ADLINK Devices With Ubuntu Linux Operating System

Share This





Pre-installed Ubuntu Linux ensures ADLINK devices are tested and validated, with ongoing support and automatic updates for devices deployed in the field

 

Summary:


● Agreement allows ADLINK to ship Ubuntu Linux-installed and -licensed devices, with Canonical support for customers


● Certification ensures that Ubuntu Linux patches and updates will reliably install on ADLINK devices, to ensure devices run the latest operating system and security revisions


● Provides customers a complete, fully validated solution to speed time-to-market and deliver secure IoT solutions





ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, announced at Embedded World that it has entered into an agreement with Canonical to pre-certify ADLINK devices with the Ubuntu Linux operating system (OS) to create a complete hardware and software device offering with fully supported security and operational updates for the device lifecycle. The agreement eliminates the need for customers to install the device OS themselves and to work with the OS provider for licensing and support; it also enables ADLINK to support Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) projects by enabling certification and licensing for ODM customers. ADLINK devices will be pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux, with Canonical offering ADLINK customers full, ongoing technical support and automatic updates until the OS release reaches its designated end-of-life date.

 



Ubuntu Linux is the leading Linux distribution for large embedded systems and is the most popular open source operating system for autonomous robotics and self-driving vehicles. Developed by Canonical, it provides security updates and support for each Ubuntu release.



In addition, Canonical and ADLINK are both members of the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) Technical Steering Committee, a group of industry leaders from organizations that are contributing to the development of ROS 2, with the responsibility to set the technical direction for the project.




ADLINK and Canonical technologies have been foundational in a range of robotic and autonomous vehicle initiatives, including the Indy Autonomous Challenge, the first head-to-head high-speed autonomous vehicle race to be held in October 2021 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
