Save Money with Embedded Operating System Specialists

BSQUARE has embedded operating system specialists who can help you make the critical choice of which embedded operating system is right to save money and time. The embedded operating system supplies much of the functionality your device needs. By picking the right OS for your device, you will spend much less time modifying applications and drivers and your development, hardware and runtime licensing costs will be appropriate to your device’s sales volume and margin level. But picking the right OS is complex.

BSQUARE licensing specialists know both Windows operating systems and embedded devices inside and out. And they leverage BSQUARE's close ties with Microsoft to get the most current data available for an informed decision. This depth of knowledge and close connection means you save time and money by getting the right OS for your device.

Key decisions that BSQUARE’s expert licensing specialists can help you make include:

Windows® Embedded or Embedded Linux

Open source software may seem like a good way to keep costs down because of the absence of royalty fees on the kernel, but there can be costs involved in working with Embedded Linux that may not be apparent at first glance—costs that can actually make working with Linux more expensive. In addition, your device may require certain functionality or application support that is not available in Linux. Our experts can help you calculate the true costs of working with each operating system and determine which one will do the best job of providing the functionality you need.

Windows XP Embedded or Windows XP Professional

First time Windows Embedded developers may have a hard time choosing between the familiar Windows XP Professional or the powerful Windows XP Embedded. We can help you weigh the pros and cons and choose the OS that will work best for your device.

Windows Embedded CE or Windows Embedded Standard

Even expert Windows Embedded developers may need help deciding between Windows Embedded CE or Windows Embedded Standard for devices such as set-top boxes and industrial controls. We can help you analyze your requirements and choose the OS that best suits your device.
