Flutter for Embedded Linux (eLinux)

This software is a non-official extension to the Flutter SDK to build Flutter apps for Embedded Linux devices.

It is still been developed! So, currently, there is a lot of unsupported functions yet.

2 connected devices:

eLinux (desktop) • elinux-wayland • flutter-tester • Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS 5.8.0-63-generic
eLinux (desktop) • elinux-x11     • flutter-tester • Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS 5.8.0-63-generic
