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 Apollo is built on power efficient Intel Centrino technology and is an industry standard EBX form factor (8 x 5.75in).
The development kit offers a highly cost effective solution for developers, saving months of effort and allowing engineers to concentrate on value-added application development.
The Apollo Development Kit for Linux is built on a standard Fedora Core 3 Linux (v2.6 kernel) distribution and includes all the board specific drivers pre-installed on an industrial grade CompactFlash memory card.
The development kit bundles the Apollo single board computer fitted with a 1.6GHz Pentium M CPU, 512Mbyte of DDR memory, Gigabit Ethernet and the 1Gbyte CompactFlash card.
Also included is an AC Flex-ATX PSU, full cable set, quick start manual, development kit DVD, USB/CF programming adapter, and an optional panel mounted 15in TFT colour LCD module and analogue touchscreen.
The Apollo includes dual independent display capability, dual Ethernet, dual FireWire (IEEE1394a) ports, six USB 2.0 channels and four serial ports (RS232/422/485).
Based on a variety of performance benchmarks, tests demonstrate that an Apollo fitted with a 1.6GHz Pentium M CPU offers similar performance to a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 desktop system but with approximately one third of the power consumption.
Arcom has a dedicated team of Linux developers located in Kansas City and Cambridge who are focused on new product development and technical support.
This technical resource is also used as a design service to provide optimised implementations of embedded Linux and to support customer specific driver/application requirements. Request a free brochure from Eurotech ...
