Linux capability

Lantronix now supports Linux on its wired embedded device server product, MatchPort AR.

The Linux software development kit (SDK) provides a board support package for MatchPort along with a turnkey development environment that includes an industry-validated set of Linux software tools built around the Linux 2.6 kernel.

Combined with standard GNU toolchains, developers can integrate their applications using predefined configuration profiles and software assembly tools. Sample applications are provided within the SDK, allowing developers to jump-start their application development.

With the kit, users can create new applications with greater flexibility.

The company also provides robust firmware upgrade and software recovery tools that ease the pain of maintaining previously deployed devices. Additionally, in the event of a failure, MatchPort can recover the system.
