Wind River Linux Distro In 2022, Wind River launched a new product, Wind River Linux Distro, that is a binary Linux distribution based on the Wind River Linux source-based product. The Distro is intended for embedded solution developers that need a commercially supported Linux for their project, but do not need the extensive customization capabilities of the Yocto Project-based Wind River Linux. The key features are quick time to value, customization via tools such as the Linux Assembly Tool & an RPM package feed, and updates via OSTree. Developers can download a free version of the Wind River Linux Distro by going to https://www.windriver.com/products/linux/download A number of hardware platforms are enabled by the Distro. Commercial support is currently available for a subset of the enabled platforms.
