Linux
Ka-Ro developers are Linux experts.   We release our Board Support Packages (BSPs) to the mainline Linux kernel, and our BSPs are based on the Long-term Support (LTS) Linux, currently the 4.14 kernel.  This means that that the Ka-Ro BSP can be integrated easily, and additional device drivers can be added without conflicts.  Long-term Support provides a 6-year availability of the LTS kernel, which assures a stable Linux platform during the development and deployment of embedded products.  

In addition to a full-featured BSP, Ka-Ro supports a pre-compiled Debian (Stretch) OS and LXDE, a Debian-based desktop environment.

Yocto Project
Ka-Ro supports the Yocto Project 2.4 (Yocto) for Ka-Ro TX SOMs.  Complete recipes and installation guides are provided

Microsoft Windows Embedded
Ka-Ro continues to support and develop for customers using Windows Embedded software.   Ka-Ro created the first Windows Embedded Compact 7 BSP for the NXP i.MX 6Ultra-Lite processors and continues to assist customers to transition their products to newer versions of Windows Embedded running on TX SOMs.

Ka-Ro is a member of the Microsoft ecosystem for Windows 10 IOT Core, and we’ll be demonstrating prototypes at Embedded World 2019.   Come to Hall 3A-133
