Arium Embedded Linux » Arium Embedded Linux
Arium Embedded Linux (AE Linux) is a compact distribution that includes the basic components needed for embedded products based on IA-32 and Intel® 64processors.
AE Linux includes a pre built kernel as well asall of the source and the complete tool chain for building the kernel and applications.
The package is designed for fast and easy Linux development with scripts to aid developers into designing and debugging kernel and user space code quickly.
AE Linux includes all source, a pre-build kernel with Arium debug hooks, and deployment scripts which include target flash programming. The distribution uses the standard Linux build flow and is made from unmodified public distributions so that migration to newer or different Linux components is unencumbered. The distribution is very lean while providing complete support for the targeted simpler IA-based designs. This allows small file systems (CF or similar). A professional programmer should easily install the entire kit and bring up a target in one hour or less. There is no need forthe developer to build any host side standard tools.
The distribution also includes Arium´s debug hooks to accommodate a seamless debug environment using Arium JTAG debuggers.Developers can debug from board reset through UEFI, kernel boot, kernel module drivers, and application code.
AE Linux is a package that is targeted to developers who want a fast and easy solution to run an embedded Linux kernel on their Intel-based platform. This distribution uses the standard Linux buildflow and is made from unmodified public distributions so that migration to newer or different Linux components is unencumbered.The distribution is very lean while providing complete support that may be used for an embedded product. This allows use of a small file system.A professional programmer can easily install the entire kit and bring up a target in less than one hour. There is no need for the developer to build any host-side, standard tools.The distribution kit contains everything needed to:
1. Install all cross tools on the development host
2. Build kernel and applications on the host,for the embedded target
3. Test the installation (Sample applications and kernel modules)
4. Install all of the components on the target system making it bootable
Items included are:
1. A complete tool chain to build both kernel and applications. This includes ready-to-run binaries
2. A complete source tree with all make files,et cetera to build a 2.6.29.3 kernel
3. Busy Box 1.14.1 target utility package
4. A complete operational file system image for the target
5. Scripts for operations such as copying a file system image
6. Complete documentation on how to install the kit and get started
