  52. The <span class="application">Open Powerline Toolkit</span> is designed to support hardware engineers and embedded software developers working on GNU/Linux and Linux-like systems. Debian GNU/Linux is the platform of choice because it is open source and has extensive cross-platform support. The toolkit has been compiled and executed on several platforms but Qualcomm Atheros does not necessarily support the toolkit on those platforms. Qualcomm Atheros has made every effort to enable cross-platform compatibility by conforming to POSIX standards and following good programming practice but there are limitations on any such effort.
