So you don’t have to start from scratch just to create your ideas.

What can Ultibo be used for?

Pretty much anything, you can use Ultibo for making projects, for learning and experimenting or even for teaching. All you need is a bit of imagination to come up with endless possible uses.

How much does it cost?

Ultibo core is free and open source software. You can use it without cost, you can modify it and you can share it with others.

Is Ultibo based on Linux?

No, Ultibo core is a complete embedded development environment written specifically for creating applications with small single board computers. It uses many concepts from general operating system design and even borrows information from Linux, but Ultibo is not based on anything else.
