Overview

Legato is an open source embedded platform built on Linux designed to simplify embedded M2M development.

Legato has everything you need to connect M2M fast:

programming language APIs
target runtime environment
development and build tools
automated tests.

Legato's APIs and development tools let you easily write new software components and specify how applications will use those components.

Legato's runtime environment has a set of daemon processes that cooperatively implement execution sandboxes, secure IPC, fault monitoring, and autonomous recovery on your target devices operating in the field.

Legato's build tools turn new code into applications ready packaged for deployment to target devices. And there are other development tools that ease things like testing, troubleshooting, and installing your new software on your devices.

Legato comes with a raft of documentation in a no nonsense format to show you what to do, and automated tests ready to use in your development environment.
