Devices running Cherokee

During the last few years Cherokee has been adopted by numerous electronic device makes and IoT technology manufacturers. Some examples include GoPro action cameras and drones,[15] Xiaomi action cameras, Digi International's Internet of things kits,[16] ATN Corporation's high-end rifle scopes,[17] Defender's security cameras,[18] etc. Since Cherokee is Open Source Software and does not require manufacturers to license the code, there is no way to know how many companies are embedding Cherokee in their products.
