asustante

Asustante is a Linux-based operating system designed for embedded systems and single-board computers. It is an open-source project that uses the ARM architecture and is primarily developed by ASUS. Released in 2016, the operating system aims to provide a lightweight and efficient platform for running applications and services on devices with limited hardware capabilities.

Asustante is built around the Debian Linux distribution, with a customized build system that allows users to create custom firmware images for a variety of supported hardware platforms. This includes the ASUS Tinker Board, a single-board computer with a quad-core ARM CPU and 2GB of RAM, as well as other devices from various manufacturers.

The operating system includes a range of pre-installed applications, including a web browser, office suite, and media player, among others. It also features a package manager and software repositories, making it easy for users to install new software and update existing applications.

One of the key features of Asustante is its ability to run a large number of open-source applications and services, many of which are not natively available on other single-board computer operating systems. This includes popular projects such as Minecraft and OpenCV, as well as more specialized tools like OpenSSH and Apache.

Asustante has a dedicated community of developers and users who contribute to the project through bug reports, patches, and new feature submissions. The operating system is licensed under the GPL-2.0, allowing users to freely modify and distribute the source code.
