CDP Linux
Industrial Linux for Real-Time Control Systems.
A preconfigured, cyber-secure Linux distribution tailored for industrial real-time automation and maritime systems.
Built for performance. Secured by design. Ready for use.
CDP Linux is a Yocto-based distribution custom-built and maintained to enable seamless use of industrial PCs in control systems. It simplifies the transition to modern PC-based control software by reducing the need for specialized Linux expertise. Optimized for running CDP Studio applications in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for companies developing control and automation systems on industrial PCs, CDP Linux significantly reduces the effort required to build, secure, and maintain a production-grade Linux platform.
Pre-configured & Ready to Use
Significantly reduce the effort required to build and maintain your own Linux environment. CDP Linux comes with built-in drivers and firmware for generic x86 industrial devices, allowing you to focus on your application features rather than the OS.
Cybersecurity by Design
Meet rigorous industrial and maritime standards (IEC 62443, DNV, IACS) with defense-in-depth features enabled by default, including USBGuard, Fail2ban, and encrypted remote logging.
Real-Time Performance
Engineered for predictable timing and low latency, CDP Linux features a PREEMPT_RT–tuned kernel specifically for high-stakes industrial control and automation platforms.
Core Capabilities & Technical Highlights
Robust Deployment and Updates
Unattended USB or network-based installations (PXE), and attended install with package reconfiguration option. Support for atomic A/B upgrades via RAUC with automatic rollback.
Industrial Networking
Native support for redundant Ethernet (HSR/PRP) for zero-failover reliability, and includes CANopen-ready interfaces.
Lifecycle & Reliability
Stay secure with a predictable update cycle. CDP Linux is based on Yocto Long Term Support (LTS) versions, with point releases every 3-7 weeks to address critical security issues (CVEs).
Flexibility and Extensibility
Headless or GUI operation modes, run containerized workloads using built-in Docker support. Run pre- and post-scripts for installation-specific setups and configurations.
