PEGASUS Development Kit for embedded Linux with secure communications and options for using embedded Java™ and IBM WebSphere® enabled technology.
This Development Kit offers
four unbeatable value propositions:
- Embedded Linux is already installed, you just
download your application
- It saves months of engineering development effort
- It provides all the hardware, and free support at an
amazingly low price
- You have a production-ready platform for rapid OEM
product integration

The PEGASUS Development Kit for Embedded Linux with optional Java Technology features a compact implementation of the GNU/Linux operating system based on the proven 2.6 kernel release. This has
been optimized for use on
Arcom hardware platforms and is pre-loaded and configured
into the embedded Flash. This offers an embedded version of Linux with a
proven background, combined with a high reliability journalling Flash
File system.
Arcom
recognizes that Linux is used extensively in deeply embedded
communications solutions and that secure communications should be an
important part of any telemetry application involved in control and
monitoring functions. Many users of telnet, rlogin and ftp may not
realize that password information is transmitted across the Internet
unencrypted. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to
effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other
network-level attacks. OpenSSH can also provide a variety of secure
tunneling capabilities and authentication methods.
The Development Kit can also be used with Java technology (J2ME) implemented with the IBM J9
JVM. Using the WebSphere Studio Device Developer (WSDD) IDE tools for embedded Java you can create powerful Java applications with rich communication and device management features. Arcom can also provide drivers to communicate with a WebSphere MQ Integrator information broker using MQTT (telemetry transport). Please contact
Arcom Support for further details.
The Development Kit
includes the PEGASUS
PC/104 embedded PC single board computer fitted with 32Mbytes of DRAM
and 16Mbytes of Flash. The PEGASUS is fitted inside a rugged enclosure
and includes development cables, power supply, software and a
comprehensive information CD.

| What
is Arcom Embedded Linux? |
| Arcom
Embedded Linux offers a compact, high reliability
implementation of Linux for use in embedded control and
communication products. The implementation is based on a
proven well supported distribution offering standard file
hierarchy, shell and text utilities, but is then combined with
a rugged Journalling Flash Filing System to achieve maximum
system integrity for truly embedded applications. It has been
optimized for Arcom hardware and is supported directly by
Arcom. |
