Are you working on a commercial project?
Canonical partners with silicon vendors, board manufacturers and ODMs to shorten enterprises'
time-to-market. Reach out to our team for custom board enablement, commercial distribution, long-term
support or security maintenance.
Optimised Real-time Ubuntu is now production-ready on:
Coupled with Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (Intel® TCC) and Time Sensitive Networking (IEEE TSN),
the real-time Ubuntu kernel delivers industrial-grade performance to the time-bound workloads of industrial
enterprises.
Real-time Ubuntu on Intel SoCs is available via Ubuntu Pro, Canonical's enterprise security
and compliance subscription, covering all aspects of open infrastructure. With an Ubuntu Pro subscription, launching the kernel is as easy as:
Are you interested in running real-time Ubuntu on Intel SoCs?
Intel's portfolio of edge-ready compute and connectivity technologies make it easy to deploy edge applications
quickly. Enhanced for IoT, they enable processing at the edge to get critical insights and business value from
your data with compute resources where you need them most.
Below you will find links for the production-grade family of Ubuntu images optimised for Intel processors, along
with installation instructions.
Ubuntu Core is a version of the Ubuntu operating system designed and engineered for IoT and embedded systems.
Built on snaps packages, Ubuntu Core automatically updates itself and its applications to create a confined and
transaction-based system ideal for embedded devices.
The Ubuntu Desktop operating system powers millions of PCs and laptops around the world and is certified on
hundreds of laptops and workstations from the top OEM vendors. Modern and performant, users benefit from a rich
ecosystem of development and productivity applications. Ubuntu Desktop combines enterprise-grade support,
security and functionality with the best of open source.
Ubuntu Server is a version of the Ubuntu operating system designed and engineered as a backbone for the
internet.
Ubuntu Server brings economic and technical scalability to your datacentre, public or private. Whether you want
to deploy an OpenStack cloud, a Kubernetes cluster or a 50,000-node render farm, Ubuntu Server delivers the best
value scale-out performance available.
To support the next generation of IoT edge devices, Intel has developed a new line of processors enhanced for
IoT—The Intel Atom x6000E Series, Intel Pentium, and Intel Celeron N and J Series processors (formerly known as
Elkhart Lake — EHL). These processors build on new levels of CPU, and graphics performances with
integrated IoT features, real-time performance, manageability, security, and functional safety.
11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (formerly known as Tiger Lake — TGL) deliver a balance of
performance and responsiveness in a low-power platform built on our third-generation 10nm process technology.
Engineered to deliver for IoT markets, these processors can support low-latency and time-sensitive applications,
and have the power to run multiple workloads including AI and deep learning applications on a single platform.
As the first Intel® Core™ processors to feature performance hybrid architecture, the 12th Gen
Intel® Core™ processors (codename — Alder Lake) are designed for workload optimization,
accelerated AI performance and immersive video experience. The platform offers flexibility and scalability
— with its comprehensive lineup of desktop and mobile processor choices, each with differentiated key
features, performance levels and graphical capabilities. One of Intel's latest and most innovative platforms to
launch this year for IOT , the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors are created to enable deployment
success and drive more value in many sectors including smart retail, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, video
and security.
Canonical partners with leading device manufacturers to validate the same Ubuntu image across a wide variety of
boards offering a great out-of-the-box experience for your customised needs. Stay tuned for more features coming
soon!
