Clea OS as SECO solution

SECO: A Unique Advantage in Embedded Systems​

Clea OS: A Fully Integrated Embedded Linux Solution Backed by SECO’s Hardware and Silicon Vendor Expertise.

Clea OS, backed by SECO, stands out in the embedded Linux landscape due to SECO’s direct collaboration with industry leaders like NXP and Intel. Unlike generic Linux distributions, Clea OS benefits from a deeply optimized integration with the underlying hardware, ensuring superior performance, long-term support, and a seamless development experience. SECO’s close partnerships with major silicon vendors translate into tangible advantages for Clea OS users, enabling them to build high-performance, reliable, and future-proof embedded solutions.

Optimized for Target Architectures​

SECO works directly with NXP and Intel to ensure that Clea OS is fine-tuned for their respective architectures. This isn't just basic compatibility—SECO leverages vendor-specific features and capabilities to maximize performance and efficiency. By gaining early access to new silicon and pre-release documentation, SECO can optimize Clea OS for next-generation processors as soon as they become available, giving customers a competitive edge.

Early Access to New Technologies​

Through its direct engagement with silicon vendors, SECO ensures that Clea OS is among the first embedded Linux distributions to support the latest advancements in processor technology. This proactive approach allows businesses using Clea OS to stay ahead of industry trends, integrating the newest features and performance improvements before competitors.

Enhanced Hardware Abstraction for Seamless Portability​

SECO’s strong relationships with NXP and Intel facilitate a superior hardware abstraction layer within Clea OS. This makes porting Clea OS across different hardware platforms based on these vendors' chips much easier. It also ensures that drivers and other low-level software components are highly optimized and reliable, reducing development complexity and increasing system stability.

Improved Driver Support and Stability​

One of the key advantages of SECO’s collaboration with major silicon vendors is the exceptional driver support provided for Clea OS. Working directly with NXP and Intel ensures that Clea OS integrates vendor-validated drivers, leading to a highly stable and reliable hardware operation. The benefit of this close relationship extends beyond initial support; it allows for faster resolution of driver-related issues, reducing development downtime and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, Clea OS benefits from continuous optimizations, ensuring that drivers are not only compatible but also tailored to maximize the performance of specific hardware configurations.

Co-Engineering and Joint Validation with Silicon Vendors​

Clea OS is not just tested for compatibility; it is co-engineered and validated directly alongside NXP and Intel hardware. SECO collaborates closely with vendor engineers, performing extensive testing and optimizations to ensure that Clea OS runs seamlessly across supported architectures. This level of validation significantly reduces the risk of hardware-software integration issues, leading to a more reliable embedded platform. The result is a robust and predictable development experience, where businesses can confidently deploy Clea OS, knowing it has undergone rigorous testing and optimization with the direct involvement of silicon vendors.

Access to Exclusive Silicon Vendor Resources​

Through its strategic partnerships, SECO gains access to valuable silicon vendor resources, including:

  • Technical documentation and in-depth chipset specifications.
  • Exclusive software development kits (SDKs) and firmware tools.
  • Direct engineering support from NXP and Intel, ensuring faster troubleshooting and bug fixes.

This inside track allows SECO to provide timely updates, security patches, and enhancements to Clea OS, keeping the platform secure, up-to-date, and fully optimized.

Simplified Development and Faster Time-to-Market​

By leveraging SECO's close ties with silicon vendors, Clea OS simplifies hardware integration and software development, reducing the time and effort needed to bring embedded products to market. Developers benefit from:

  • Pre-configured BSPs, eliminating the need for manual integration.
  • Vendor-optimized drivers and toolchains, improving system efficiency.
  • A more streamlined development workflow, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than debugging compatibility issues.
