On the 30th anniversary of the Linux open source operating system, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) announced the extension of its Linux distribution device driver, allowing the Linux kernel to identify and support more than 1,000 ADI peripherals. These open source device drivers simplify the software development process to the ADI customers, providing access to high quality software through testing, providing rapid development of embedded solutions, bringing innovative solutions for all industries, including telecommunications, industry, defense Aerospace, medical, automobile, security, Internet of Things (IoT), consumer electronics and other industries. This product combination includes the product of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (now afforded by ADI).

ADI also released "Kuiper Linux", which is a free Linux operating system based on Raspbian / Debian. Optimized for ADI peripherals, supported popular ARM-based systems, such as Raspberry Pi, Xilinx Zynq, Xilinx Zynq UltraScale + MPSOC, Intelcyclone V SoC, Intel Arria 10 SX SoC and Intel Stratix 10 SoC. The new Linux distribution focuses on ensuring that the Linux kernel device driver is available at any time, providing a robust software development system for embedded customers, reducing the risk, shortening the development time for customers who use peer review and ready-to-industry support. The release contains all basic components required to run the built-in driver, allowing customers to integrate custom software. Linux distribution provides hardware and software compatibility for our customers, helping to avoid locking a particular hardware while also reduces software development requirements as much as possible.

David Babicz, ADI, said: "With the help of these drivers, due to the more simplified software development process, and more economical, and increase resource utilization, we can provide services to our customers more fully. Customer can use Test, can work with its hardware synchronous work, which means that customers can focus on innovation, without having to build software from scratch, helping them push products faster to the market. "

In the past 15 years, the engineers of the Adi and Cooperatives have developed Linux kernel devices drive in a series of Linux subsystems, including: audio, battery charging and management, real-time clock, power management, video, Industrial Input / Output, Accelerometer, Amplifier, Mode Converter (ADC), Digital Converter (DAC), Brass, Phase Ring, Gyroscope, Inertial Measurement Unit, Input Device, Network Connection, and Universal Serial bus.
