 //Note: Using the Mervis platform does not prevent access to the controller’s Linux OS, eg. you can use your software along with Mervis on a single controller. A good example of this feature is the [[https://kb.unipi.technology/en:sw:01-mervis:08-sscp-bridge|SSCP to SQL Bridge]] service for storing data from Mervis-running Unipi PLCs into an external SQL database.//

 **Open-source solutions** are characterized by freely accessible and editable source code, allowing its users to modify and update the software according to their needs or to add new tools and functions. The main disadvantage is the absence of technical support - in case of issues, users have to rely on various community forums. Open-source software also cannot always guarantee compatibility with hardware. Aside from open APIs, Unipi technology also provides preassembled operating system images suitable for developers and OEM customers - an open-source OS image and a custom OS image.
