Build custom Linux images.
Builds production-ready Linux images based on Debian, Alpine Linux, and Raspberry Pi OS in a consistent containerized environment, with configurable system variants, VM testing, SBOMs, and integrated Rugix Ctrl updates.
Learn moreRugix Admin
Operate devices through a browser.
Runs on the device and provides a browser-based interface to view system status, install updates, manage application workloads, and check component compatibility. Ideal for development, demos, and field service.

Manage Devices with Rugix Admin
Inspect system state, install updates, manage application workloads, and understand component relationships in one focused interface.
https://device.local/#/system
Rugix provides atomic, signature-verified system updates with on-device validation and automatic rollback, so failed updates do not strand devices in the field.
https://device.local/#/apps
Rugix allows application workloads to evolve independently of the base system, with atomic, crash-safe deployments and instant rollback to previous generations.
https://device.local/#/components
Rugix checks compatibility across hardware, the operating system, runtimes, and active applications, so incompatible combinations are detected before they arise.

Rugix was chosen for its robustness, built-in state management with clean factory resets, and highly efficient delta updates.
eChecker
eChecker builds test benches for e-bikes, drive units, and e-scooters used by test institutes and manufacturers worldwide. Each test bench is controlled by an embedded Linux system, powered by and updated through Rugix. Rugix enabled eChecker to easily build custom system images and reliably deliver over-the-air software updates to test benches deployed across customer sites.
BatteryBrain
"At Enmo, we use Rugix for our product, BatteryBrain, a device optimizing battery systems based on spot prices, battery health, production inputs, and electricity markets. Rugix has been essential in bringing BatteryBrain to a production-ready state as quickly and efficiently as possible. It has simplified the creation of a custom Raspberry Pi image and enabled seamless over-the-air (OTA) updates."
