## What it is
A non-official Flutter embedder for embedded Linux systems, implemented in C++ without X11 or GTK dependencies. It supports Wayland and DRM (GBM/EGLStream) display backends and targets Arm64 devices.

## Use cases
- run Flutter apps on embedded Linux devices
- build a Flutter UI for an Arm64 single-board computer
- render Flutter without X11 using DRM/GBM
- deploy Flutter to Wayland-based embedded products
- integrate Flutter into Yocto-based embedded builds
- use Flutter on NVIDIA devices with EGLStream

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight Flutter embedder for embedded Linux without GTK/X11
- your target is Arm64 embedded hardware with Wayland or DRM display
- you want API compatibility with Flutter desktop embedders on constrained devices

## When to avoid
- you target desktop Linux where the official Flutter desktop embedder suffices
- you need Arm 32-bit (ARMv7/armhf) support, which is unconfirmed
- you want official, mainline Flutter engine support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: embedded, gui, graphics
- domain: embedded-systems, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: embedded, cpp
- tags: flutter, flutter-embedder, wayland, drm, arm64, yocto, linux
