How to embedd Linux Applications
Are you a software vendor looking for embedded linux appliances for your softwares? Or just another geek to see how embedded linux operates? Well, here’s your chance to try it out!
FOX Board, a complete Linux system in just 66 x 72 mm
FOX Board runs a real Linux operating system (not a uC Linux) on an ETRAX 100LX microprocessor, a 100MIPS RISC CPU made by Axis.
FOX Board has two main field applications:
- As a stand alone device to build a micro web server or other network devices as proxy, router, firewall, etc.
- As a core engine to plug onto the PCB of a user application board instead of a simple microcontroller.
Two USB 1.1 host interfaces can be connected to USB memory stick, hard disk, webcam, modem, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth dongle, ADSL adapter, Serial converter, etc.
Through the 10/100 ethernet interface it is possible to have access to the internal Web server, FTP server, SSH, Telnetd and the complete TCP/IP stack.

KDEV developed SMS FoxBox - SMS Gateway Solution with this board and Linux embedded inside.
Acme Systems provides various kinds of APIs and documentations on how to do things with the boards, which I find very useful indeed. This item is already in my must have list!
