If additional software packages are required, EMAC may be able to provide these for an additional support and installation fee. Thousands of software projects are available through the OpenEmbedded build system, most of which can be compiled and installed on any EMAC OE system. Please contact EMAC for information about package availability.

Many of the add on packages may be required for custom applications written with the SDK, e.g. SQLite for database applications or packages which add functionality to the device. Refer to the EMAC OE software development documentation for more information on creating custom software.
