GoBian is a Linux-embedded operating system running on TIGER Board for the GoWarrior platform.
GoBian is developed based on Raspbian which is from Debian 7 wheezy armhf, and differs from Raspbian for the extra features, for example, GoBian encapsulates the RPi.gpio and other I/O libraries to facilitate transplanting projects which use the related libraries from Raspberry Pi to TIGER Board. Furthermore, GoBian provides support for multimedia by integrating GOF, KODI and other middle-ware modules and applications out-of-the-box.
GoBian enables the Internet connection through Ethernet or Wi-Fi through the Ethernet port and Wi-Fi module on TIGER Board, and thus supports various methods to access the projects and transfer data, such as FTP, SSH.
GoBian automatically synchronizes the system time with Internet time servers using the NTP protocol.
GoBian integrates a built-in file system for data management.
C, C++, Python, Perl, and shell script.
GoBian lets you call the GPIO/I2C/UART/SPI interfaces directly in your projects with the built-in RPi.gpio and other libraries.
GoBian makes it easy for the secondary development of multimedia applications with the customized GOF middle-ware for TIGER Board.
The on-board M3733-AFAAA processor makes GoBian a multitasking system with good performance.
The software programs that are available for Debian are basically compatible with GoBian.
GoBian supports the ultra-power-saving sleep mode (PMU Standby), with the entire board power consumption as low as 0.35W.
GoBian integrates with DLNA to fully support the multimedia sharing and multi-screen interaction.
CloudQ provides back-end community support to users. [9]
In computing, cross-platform software is computer software that is designed to work in several computing platforms. Some cross-platform software requires a separate build for each platform, but some can be directly run on any platform without special preparation, being written in an interpreted language or compiled to portable bytecode for which the interpreters or run-time packages are common or standard components of all supported platforms.
