Diamond Systems’ Linux Software Development Kits provide a quick-start compact Linux environment based on the Slackware 2.6 kernel. It is preconfigured for all of our embedded single board computers and includes our Universal Driver for I/O programming. It is available both as a binary image that can be loaded onto a flashdisk module, or a pre-loaded flashdisk, that you can install on your SBC board and power on for immediate operation. The Development Kits utilize the Minix file system for enhanced file protection during power loss or improper shutdown, and the Lilo bootloader for a quick 15 second boot time.

The CD includes binary images of the flashdisk files that you may copy freely onto your own flashdisks.

128MB Flashdisk Module with Linux image pre-installed


Description

Our Linux Software Development Kits offer you a pre-built and ready-to-use "Flash Linux" image with a file size of only 10MB and low RAM requirement of only 5.5MB. The Linux image is designed specifically to run on a solid-state IDE flashdisk on any Diamond Systems' SBC. It enables you to build a completely solid-state Linux-powered embedded computer that boots in just 15 seconds. It includes the Minix file system and Lilo bootloader.

Our Linux images are based on the version 2.6 Linux kernel. It incorporates several improvements and features that make it ideal for use with our SBCs:

Console Redirection lets you communicate with the SBC over a serial port (ASCII display mode only). All keyboard and display data is transmitted over the serial port, saving the cost of a video board and giving you maximum flexibility in communicating with the SBC. You can connect any computer running a terminal emulator program (such as HyperTerminal) to the SBC via a null modem cable and control the system as though you had an actual keyboard and monitor.

Ethernet Autodetect lets Linux detect and configure a SBC's Ethernet circuit automatically, so you don't have to install or configure an Ethernet driver.

Improved USB Support allows you freedom to connect more USB devices, such as cameras and printers, in addition to mice and keyboards.

Universal Driver Software is pre-installed, so you can control the data acquisition circuitry on the single board computer.
