Everything about embedded linux and open source

DENX Software Engineering provides software engineering services for embedded and real-time systems.

Based on a high level of expertise in that area we port firmware and operating systems to your hardware and write device drivers and other low-level or hardware-related software components. We develop, tailor and install the base software for your embedded systems and provide solutions such as graphical user interfaces, performance optimization, security concepts or tools for automatic software updates. This allows you to put all your resources in the development of your applications. We also provide on-the-job training for engineers who need to ramp up quickly on how to develop software for embedded Linux systems and offer support and maintenance contracts..

Founded in 1999, DENX is one of the first companies that specialized exclusively on employing Free Software embedded and real-time systems. As an owner-managed company we provide a maximum of flexibility with excellent performance.

Why choose us

DENX is a well-known and respected member of the Free Software community. It has always been a key part of our philosophy that GPL based software must remain free software. Being a member of the Linux Foundation is but one way of showing our colours.

DENX has started the development and is one of the major driving forces behind the U-Boot Free Software project which has become the standard boot loader for all kinds of embedded systems.

The SWUpdate OTA update tool and the tbot automatic test framework are other examples of popular open source projects originated and driven by DENX.

We actively support and contribute to the Xenomai RTOS Emulation and Real-Time Framework. With Xenomai we can offer reliable and efficient solutions for hard real-time requirements under Linux.

DENX has an excellent reputation in the market, resulting from a large number of successful projects with customers not only in Europe, but from Norway to Australia, and from the U.S.A. to Japan.

About Founder

Wolfgang Denk

founder, programmer, and open source evangelist

Email: info@denx.de

“Thanks to Linux, the low level hardware details are well abstracted away, and on the application level it does not really matter at all which exact architecture or SoC you are working with.”

“The rapid adoption of the Yocto Project, the open source build system, is “the best approximation of a standard Linux distribution for embedded systems we ever had so far.”

On October 14, 2022, Wolfgang Denk died much too early at the age of only 66.
