Lantronix furthers its commitment to Linux

This furthers Lantronix’ commitment to Linux and strategy for open source computing. The new SDK allows Linux developers to quickly and easily create value-added applications on the EDS1100/2100. Built on the proven, stable 2.6 Linux kernel, the SDK includes a robust set of components for building secure network-enabled products and applications using Linux, one of the world’s most popular open operating systems. Also included in the announcement are firmware updates for the XPort Pro Linux SDK and MatchPort AR Linux SDK, available for download at www.Lantronix.com/downloads.

The EDS1100 and EDS2100 Linux SDK key improvements include:

* uClinux baseline upgrade (Linux kernel 2.6.29);
* IPv6-ready Certification;
* SDK VMWare VM Image to enable developers to build, deploy, customise and maintain Linux applications in a Windows environment;
* Serial-to-Ethernet with SSL and SSH support sample application.


“While we will continue to offer our customers the tools to develop products using our tried and true operating systems, expanding our Linux offerings extends the capabilities of our products for current customer needs and opens up our products to an exponentially wider audience,” said Daryl Miller vice president of engineering for Lantronix. “Every new product we launch will now support Linux.”

The EDS1100/2100 is also available with Lantronix’ powerful operating system, Evolution OS, which provides end-users a rich, turnkey option with robust functionality right out of the box.
