Improved security features for Embedded Linux kit
Arcom has updated its development kit for Embedded Linux with Java Technology for the 300MHz Geode based SBC-GX1 single board computer.
Development kit puts VxWorks on SBC
Following its membership of Wind River's WindLink Partner Programme, Arcom has launched a VxWorks BSP development kit for the popular 300MHz SBC-GX1 embedded PC.
Development kit embeds Java with Linux
Arcom's embedded Linux with Java technology development kit includes the SBC-GX1 300MHz embedded PC preloaded with a compact implementation of GNU/Linux combined with IBM's J9 Virtual Machine.
The implementation is based on a proven, well supported distribution of the Linux kernel offering standard file hierarchy, shell and text utilities.
These are integrated with a rugged compressed journaling flash filing system (JFFS2) to achieve maximum system integrity for truly embedded applications.
The development kit now integrates a standard installation of Open-SSH (secure-shell) allowing a wide range of encryption and authentication techniques to be used between the SBC-GX1 and a host server.
Also, to reflect the current IBM Java releases, the development kit is now supplied with the latest WebSphere Studio Device Developer tools, replacing the previous VisualAge Micro Edition toolset.
The GNU/Linux operating system uses the proven 2.4 kernel and has been optimised for use on Arcom hardware platforms.
This comprehensive development kit includes the SBC-GX1 single board computer fitted with 64Mbyte DRAM and 16Mbyte of Flash, PSU, serial and Ethernet cable set, quickstart manual and the development kit utility CD.
For those developing with embedded Java, the kit includes an evaluation copy of IBM's WebSphere Studio Device Developer IDE development tools.
The SBC-GX1 EBX format (5.75 x 8in) single board computer is powered by the 300MHz National Semiconductor Geode GX1 processor and is aimed at fanless systems.
The board offers graphics accelerated CRT and TFT flat panel support, 10/100baseTx Ethernet, four serial ports, and expansion via a PCI slot, CompactFlash socket and industry standard PC/104. Request a free brochure from Eurotech ...
