DENX Software Engineering

About DENX Software Engineering

DENX Software Engineering was a privately held company based in Groebenzell near Munich, specialized in Embedded Linux and Open Source. The company offered engineering services, consulting and support relating to Embedded Linux, the open-source bootloader U-Boot and further open-source technologies. According to the company, the U-Boot bootloader developed and maintained by DENX over many years is deployed on millions of devices worldwide. After 20 years of activity in the embedded sector, the owners decided in 2025 to cease business operations and retire; the decision to wind down was announced in July 2025, whereupon the company entered voluntary liquidation. Former DENX engineers subsequently founded the company NABLA, which offers support and consulting on Open Source, U-Boot, Embedded Linux and Security in a similar orientation.
