Learn MoreWhy eLxr Distro?
The eLxr distro inherits all attributes of Debian, including the commitment of being freely available and open, and it adds security hardening and performance optimizations for your enterprise and edge use cases.
Reliable
Ensure consistent performance and stability, whether on-device, on-premises, or in the cloud. eLxr provides a secure and stable distribution, with its foundation in open source community innovation, and with a predictable release and update cadence, fit for long lifecycles and long-term deployments.
AI-optimized
eLxr distro capabilities enable optimized workloads for intelligent edge use cases. This includes streamlined support for AI hardware accelerators to boost performance in environments with limited connectivity and various resource constraints, both at the edge and at the near-edge.
Real-time
eLxr caters to applications with stringent timing requirements, using preempt-rt kernel configurations to prioritize low-latency responses, ensuring that tasks are executed within precise time boundaries. Achieve better determinism and predictability compared to using a standard Linux kernel.
Robust
eLxr is built and optimized for hardware powering the intelligent edge, using hardware-related features to ensure the best cost-to-performance ratio. eLxr ensures performance out of the box, provides high performance and stability during operations, and maintains overall system integrity throughout the lifecycle.
Resilient
eLxr is architected to easily address potential defects and security vulnerabilities. It includes built-in security features such as policy enforcement, and dedicated hardware features that include secure boot, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a cryptographic engine, and more.
Right-sized
eLxr relies on a smaller footprint for better performance, optimized workloads, and a smaller attack surface for resource usage efficiency. It provides required features and attributes, considering best usage of system resources, with the option to augment functionality based on large, Debian-compatible package repositories.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is eLxr Pro and how is it different than the eLxr project?
A: eLxr Pro gives you the peace of mind of using open source software under a commercial license, giving you support and maintenance from a trusted vendor. The “Pro” version relies entirely on the community image you download from https://elxr.org and entitles you to a designated support channel (global footprint, local languages), with a predefined service level agreement (SLA) and a stream of maintenance and package updates that moves at a faster pace than the community. All of this, along with documentation, training, and a suite of pre-packaged solutions for design, implementation, security, and lifecycle management capabilities, is delivered by Wind River Professional Services.
-
Q: What are the primary use cases for eLxr Pro?
A: eLxr Pro is designed for organizations deploying enterprise-grade Linux commercially, especially in highly regulated environments across industries that include aerospace and defense, healthcare, automotive, telecommunications, and industrial automation.
-
Q: How can I get an eLxr Pro subscription?
A: In order to subscribe to eLxr Pro, contact your Wind River sales representative or reach out to https://windriver.com/contact. Q: Where do I start and how do I learn more about eLxr Pro? A: To start with eLxr, just download the latest available image from the http://elxr.org website. Feel free to evaluate all technical features and the community support. If you need more, then eLxr Pro is the right solution for you and your organization to help ensure your project gets deployed in production on time and on budget.
-
Q: What will it take to adopt eLxr Pro?
A: eLxr Pro is based on the community project, which is a Debian derivative, inheriting all technical attributes and compatibility with Debian. If you are a Debian user today, the transition to eLxr and eLxr Pro will be seamless. Migration from other Linux distros, such as those based on .rpm packages, will require additional steps that you can tackle on your own, or you can get support from Wind River Professional Services for a smooth transition.
