About Us

The Linaro Home Group (LHG) works on solutions common to its members, namely those related to open source software for ARM-based set top boxes, smart TVs, media boxes, TV dongles and home gateway products.

LHG leverages Linaro’s expertise in working collaboratively with the open source community and builds upon its successes. In common with all Linaro segment groups, it consists of Member Assignees, a Steering Committee and operational resources from Linaro (Engineering Director, Technical Leads and Project Management).

Our Goals

• Preventing fragmentation of effort in the TV / STB / media space
• Driving the implementation of platform standards for ARM Linux / Android-based media products
• Creating a single solution place for OEMs, Service and Content providers to interact with ARM Linux platform providers
