Embedded linux is nothg but the customized linux going to port into a embedded device. It may be a board with processor or a Micro controller.
We dont have any specific name for embedded linux like a distro.
The famous embedded linux for micro controller is Uclinux(Micro C Linux without MMU).

A nice environment tor industrial-strength embedded linux is ELinOS from Sysgo:

Quite expensive but offers a good tool for configuring Kernel and root file system simply. Saved me hours of work.
