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

NOW - with real-time Linux demonstration software...

The QUANTUM Development Kit for embedded Linux features a compact implementation of the GNU/Linux operating system based on the 2.6 Linux 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 journaling Flash File system.

The Development Kit offers you an incredible range of features to enable you to create low power solutions for wired/wireless information terminals, instrumentation controllers, data acquisition systems and communication products. The Development Kit includes the low power 520MHz QUANTUM single board computer fitted with 64MB of DRAM and 32MB of Intel StrataFlash. Included in the Development Kit is the QUANTUM baseboard which acts as a breakout and extension to the capabilities of the QUANTUM. The kit also includes all the cables to connect to your host system, and a comprehensive information/software CD.

Arcom uses RedBoot as a simple, fast, reliable mechanism for initializing the QUANTUM and loading the embedded Linux image into the onboard Flash. Arcom’s team of experienced in-house developers is available to provide free support as you integrate your own application software.

Arcom recognizes that Linux is used extensively in deeply embedded solutions and that secure communications is an important part of any 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. Arcom uses OpenSSH to encrypt all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping and other network-level attacks.

Design Services
If you need to optimize the operating system image, Arcom offers the technical expertise of a dedicated embedded Linux development team to work with you, either to enhance the features of the operating system or reduce the footprint to save storage space. Arcom has been offering OEM embedded Linux solutions since 1999 and has worked with many customers to develop and integrate new drivers and achieve the very best from embedded Linux and embedded Java technology.
