LET'S DO IT!

MORE FOSS STUFF!

Tailored for containers

Containers will revolutionize connected devices, and resinOS

is the best way to run them

Just the essentials

A minimal Linux with the services needed to run Docker reliably on an

embedded device - nothing else

Easy to port

Based on Yocto Linux for easy porting to most capable device types across

varied CPU architectures

FULL OF OPEN GOODNESS
