ARM architecture family

ARM (stylised in lowercase as arm, formerly an acronym for Advanced RISC Machines and originally Acorn RISC Machine) is a family of RISC instruction set architectures (ISAs) for computer processors.

See OpenZaurus and ARM architecture family

Ångström distribution

The Ångström distribution is a defunct Linux distribution for a variety of embedded devices. OpenZaurus and Ångström distribution are ARM Linux distributions, Debian-based distributions, embedded Linux distributions, Linux distributions and operating systems using GPE Palmtop Environment.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks (PANs).

See OpenZaurus and Bluetooth

Bootstrapping

In general, bootstrapping usually refers to a self-starting process that is supposed to continue or grow without external input.

See OpenZaurus and Bootstrapping

Command-line interface

A command-line interface (CLI) is a means of interacting with a computer program by inputting lines of text called command-lines.

See OpenZaurus and Command-line interface

Dpkg

dpkg is the software at the base of the package management system in the free operating system Debian and its numerous derivatives.

GPE Palmtop Environment

GPE (a recursive acronym for GPE Palmtop Environment) is a graphical user interface environment for handheld computers, such as palmtops and personal digital assistants (PDAs), running some Linux kernel-based operating system.

See OpenZaurus and GPE Palmtop Environment

GTK

GTK (formerly GIMP ToolKit and GTK+) is a free software cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Kernel (operating system)

The kernel is a computer program at the core of a computer's operating system and generally has complete control over everything in the system.

See OpenZaurus and Kernel (operating system)

Linux

Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

See OpenZaurus and Linux

Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is a free and open source, UNIX-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide.

See OpenZaurus and Linux kernel

Monolithic kernel

A monolithic kernel is an operating system architecture with the entire operating system running in kernel space.
