The EDDA-Chip was first operated with software developed under MS-Windows. But as Windows needs a graphics card to operate and the aim of the project is to have a portable computer with low power consumption without a graphical display, it was decided to use Linux as an OS. Linux allows to cut the needed hardware down to a minimum. It also is scalable to fit on a small Flash-HD.
