DIGITAL-LOGIC and SYSGO have signed a partnership agreement that includes a Linux port for the Pentium-M-based smartModule( SM855 products. The PC/104-Plus board MSM855 and the EBX board MSEBX855 are also integrated into the embedded Linux development environment ELinOS. The integration into ELinOS provides DIGITAL-LOGIC customers with convenient access to the development of embedded applications under Linux.

ELTEC offers flexible combinations of industrial PCs with powerful frame grabber plug-in cards for a wide range of image processing applications. The CyBox_9, for example, is a compact industrial PC for a wide variety of applications in industrial, image processing and medical environments. The space-saving stainless steel housing contains four free PCI/32 slots with half the installation length (max. 200 mm) for application-specific expansion cards as well as various power supply options (240…

McObject, developer of the eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database, has teamed with German embedded systems innovator SYSGO to offer a feature-rich, cost-efficient development package for embedded Linux applications.

SYSGO offers the new ELinOS 2.2 in two versions. For beginners, for evaluation and for learning and test phases, the BasicToolbox is still available. For professional use of embedded Linux, the Development Kit was developed with additional tools and a comprehensive support concept.

Honeywell is expanding its building automation solutions with a Linux-based controller. Honeywell commissioned the Mainz-based software house SYSGO to create the system software for the new member of the EXCEL 5000 OPEN family. The core of the hardware platform is based on a PowerPC CPU from Motorola, for which SYSGO developed the board support package, the drivers for the required peripherals and a boot loader. The application software is created in-house by Honeywell.

The distribution for embedded Linux originating from Germany is now also available for ARM processors and will be presented to the public at Embedded Systems 2002. ELinOS has been extended by special functions tailored to the ARM architecture and will be available not only for Intel x86, PowerPC but also for the widely used ARM processors from March 2002.
