| | 5 | Gateworks supports Yocto Linux for the Ventana Product Family Board Support Package. Yocto is a linux build system that is used by many Embedded Linux Distributions (ie Angstrom, Poky, and more). |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Yocto is a linux build system derived from Yocto and offers stable snapshot and excellent documentation. |

| | 31 | == Kernel Support == |
| | 32 | We aim to provide the following in our default kernel configurations used for our Yocto BSP: |
| | 33 | * up-to-date Wireless drivers via linux-backports |
| | 34 | * commonly used 802.11ac / 802.11n / 802.11a/b/g Qualcomm / Atheros chip based cards |
| | 35 | * commonly used USB based wireless devices |
| | 36 | * commonly used USB based bluetooth host controllers |
| | 37 | * on-board embedded peripherals (ie i2c and spi based peripherals used on our boards) |
| | 38 | * Gateworks expansion peripherals |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | In other words we specifically do not typically include support for PCI sound-cards, PCI video-capture cards, and a full suite of USB based peripherals. We try to include support for peripherals commonly used with our boards. |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | If you have a particular add-on card (PCI or USB) that you are using with our boards and have a stable open-source driver for it feel free to contact support@gateworks.com to ask if we can add it in our standard board-support packages. |
