With ELinOS, SYSGO offers the first development environment for embedded Linux systems originating from Germany. During Systems 2000, SYSGO will present the new development environment on powerful and cost-effective hardware platforms: JUMPtec DimmPC, AMD SC520, SSV DIL/NetPC, Syslogic CUB/COMPACT-1S, Advantech Series WEB-2143, EPSON CardPCI/GX.
ELinOS contains a complete toolchain consisting of GNU compiler, debugger, assembler and linker. For better scalability, the toolset also includes the much more compact libc5 library in addition to libc6. The memory requirements of a system can be scaled down to 0.5 MB ROM and 2 MB RAM.
To further simplify the development of embedded Linux systems, ELinOS offers numerous pre-configured standard profiles covering the most important embedded situations. The examples contained on the CD are clearly documented and can be loaded into the development environment if required and modified to suit the specific application. This makes it possible for developers with little or no experience with Linux to develop their own embedded applications within a short time. This also applies to the boot strategies required in the embedded field.
ELinOS offers pre-configured boot situations for ROM, floppy, flash disk or network boot, among others.
