Moblin Core
Submitted by Imad Sousou, updated on 23 Feb 2009
Moblin Core is the heart of the Moblin software platform. It provides a feature rich common base shared among form factor-specific platform implementations, such as netbooks, MIDs, and automotive. Moblin Core consists of platform libraries and application services providing rich functional platform building blocks. It does not provide application user interfaces or specific user interaction shells. Such functionality is provided by a platform-specific implementation, produced by Moblin or a third party.
Moblin Core is built on the GNOME Mobile platform, extending and enriching it with Intel open source technologies like Clutter, GUPnP, and Atom specific technologies, such as graphics, fast boot, and power saving.
Moblin Core will follow the GNOME Mobile 6 month release cycle (starting with 2.26 in 2009) staying in sync, retaining compatibility and contributing improvements back to the GNOME Mobile and Desktop platforms. Moblin Core itself is expected to grow and mature as actual platform implementations are created, starting with Moblin NetBook.
