A C library for embedded Linux

+ +uClibc (aka µClibc/pronounced yew-see-lib-see) is a C library for developing +embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller than the GNU C Library, but nearly +all applications supported by glibc also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting +applications from glibc to uClibc typically involves just recompiling the +source code. uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading. It currently +runs on standard Linux and MMU-less (also known as µClinux) systems with +support for alpha, ARM, cris, i386, i960, h8300, m68k, mips/mipsel, PowerPC, +SH, SPARC, and v850 processors. + +

+ +If you are building an embedded Linux system and you find that +glibc is eating up too much space, you may want to consider using +uClibc. If you are building a huge fileserver with 12 Terabytes +of storage, then using glibc may make more sense. Unless, for +example, that 12 Terabytes will be Network Attached Storage and +you plan to burn Linux into the system's firmware... + +

+ +uClibc is maintained by Erik Andersen +and is licensed under the +GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE +. This license allows you to make closed source commercial applications using +uClibc. (Please consider sharing some of the money you make ;-). You do not need +to give away all your source code just because you use uClibc and/or run on Linux. +See the list of Frequently Asked Questions for details. + +

Sponsors

+ +Please visit our sponsors and thank them for their +support! They have provided money for equipment and +bandwidth. Next time you need help with a project, +consider these fine companies! + + + + +If you wish to be a sponsor, or if you have already contributed and would like +your name added here, email Erik. + +

+ + + + + + + + +
+Do you like uClibc? Do you need support? Do you need some features +added? Then why not help out? We are happy to accept donations +(such as bandwidth, mirrors sites, and hardware for the various +architectures). We can also provide support contracts, and implement +funded feature requests. To contribute, you can either click on the +Donate image to donate using PayPal, or you can contact Erik at +CodePoet Consulting +(we have a credit card machine so you can avoid PayPal if you wish). + + +
