Libre Computer makes single-board computers and compute modules for makers, embedded products, and OEM designs, pairing Pi-compatible hardware with mainline Linux and U-Boot rather than a short-lived vendor kernel. Its Cottonwood platforms, including the Alta and Solitude boards, are built for applications such as edge AI and vision while retaining open software and a path from prototype to production. The company declares a 20-year software support window for most of its platforms and offers design-in support for longer-lived products.
