Built-in type product is needed of connecting with TCP/IP protocol.
Though materializing this, a real time O/S(RTOS) is needed but it
is still very expensive because of building a development environment
and license fee etc. and what is more, available RTOS is unfamiliar
to general developers at present therefore it is necessary to acquire
expert level of technology to develop products that utilize RTOS,
and quite a long time will be spent to acquire a stable O/S and application
software.
Products, which are implementing Embedded Linux on the basis of
PC 104, are large in size and very expensive. Additionally, it requires
another expense to implement a total system, because users must
purchase it separately and install boards complying with PC 104
to add necessary circuitry.
Therefore LINUDIX provides an Embedded Linux platform, chip type
CPU module mounted with Linux for Internet connectivity with you.
LOC is ten times as small (1/4 business card size) as PC 104 based
PC, so it is possible to install it on the smallest area of the
board you want to develop and to implement Embedded Linux-based
Internet connected products at a reasonable price.

It is a board for evaluation able to be used as a simple development
tool for testing LOC functions. If you connect the RS-232C port of
PC in which a terminal emulsator program such as Linux minicom or
Windows HyperTerminal is stored to the RS-232C port of the evaluation
board and supply electric power, the booting process is displayed
on the terminal screen and finally a prompt is displayed.
LOC operates as a Linux machine providing the same interface as
desktop Linux. The user, after he/she sets up the IP address suitable
to his/her own LAN (The setting example is showed in the operating
manual) can visit the basic home page stored in LOC by using the
provided GCC compiler, or immediately perform a simple function
test after he/she prepares/complies the same program as "Hello
Linux " on the host PC and stores it in the LOC using NFS and
implementing it.
The user familiar with TCP/IP or other technology can implement
a gateway that is able to connect the equipment with built-in RS-232C
to Ethernet using only the evaluation board.
