Lysmarine is a Linux operating system build to be an embedded navigation computer.

The goal of the Lysmarine project is to provide a low cost chartplotting solution for DIY setups. The targeted hard hardware are medium range SBC or old computer starting at 1G of RAM.

The software collection is curated to provide straight line workflow. The idea is to place simplicity and lightweight before features and eyes candies.

Core phylosophy:

do integration at OS level, Respect debian pest practices guidelines. Lysmarine contribute back, everything that can be fixed/added upstream should be done upstream. Fix problems upstream as possible. e simplicity and lightweight before eyes camdys. The Signalk protocol and it's nodejs server are at the heart fo Lysmarine, any data should flow pass thou it.
