Linux是一個Open Source的UNIX-like作業系統，除了有著廣大的支援社群以外，穩定、模組化、擁有廣大的應用免費應用軟體支援是它主要的優點。ARM嵌入式處理器則是目前應用在嵌入式系統領域中，佔有率最高的處理器，同時也是Linux核心目前所能夠支援的處理器之一，然而要使得Linux在ARM嵌入式處理器上運\作，勢必要經過移植 (porting) 的過程，也就是要將平台相依 (platform dependent) 的部分做適當的修改-Linux is an Open Source UNIX-like operating system, As well as the support of the community at large, stable, modular, with the majority of free software application support is its major advantage. ARM Embedded processor is currently used in the field of embedded systems, the highest share of the processor, It is also the core Linux now can support one processor, However, to make Linux on ARM Embedded Processor operation bound to go through transplantation (porting) process. also incorporate interdependent platform (platform dependent) part of the appropriate modifications
