Digi International is spotlighting a growing trend among embedded systems developers as projects become more complex.
Developers are increasingly moving away from traditional RTOS-based microcontroller units (MCUs) in favor of Linux-based microprocessor units (MPUs). Digi International will hold an event on April 22 to explore how advancements in hardware abstraction layers, development tools, and software support are streamlining this migration. The company aims to inform engineers and decision makers on how the evolving ecosystem simplifies what was once a complex transition in embedded systems design.
The shift toward Linux-based MPUs in embedded systems reflects Digi International’s broader commitment to innovation and evolving security needs. Recent regulatory developments, such as Europe’s forthcoming SBOM security monitoring requirements, were outlined in detail when Digi International urged proactive SBOM security updates for IoT stakeholders. Additionally, advancements in development tools and support ecosystems parallel the introduction of the One Digi AI Discovery Engine, which leverages natural language processing to streamline the search for tailored IoT solutions—highlighting the rapid transformation taking place across the industry.
