Arcom has released another rapid application development kit supporting an installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0.

The new product is a ready-to-run development kit based on Arcom's Socket 370 Celeron/Pentium III single board computer.

Arcom's development kit strategy guarantees that designers have a proven installation of the leading desktop and embedded operating systems running on Arcom's embedded hardware platforms.

Arcom has selected Linux drivers to obtain the very best performance from the Olympus single board computer and to minimise users' development cycles.

Driver support includes the S3 ProSavage video controller, the onboard 48bit unique ID, tamper detect capability and a hardware watchdog timer.

Arcom supplies an original and fully packaged copy of Red Hat Linux 8.0 Personal Edition with each development kit.

This means users have access to 30 days of online technical support from Red Hat along with ongoing support from Arcom.

Red Hat represents the very best of standard Linux distributions and provides a comprehensive installation along with a vast array of development tools and utilities.

This also serves as an ideal platform to check out Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional Edition and the Advanced Server products.

The Olympus Linux development kit includes a standard installation of Red Hat Linux 8.0 loaded onto a 10Gbyte (minimum) 2.5in hard disk drive.

The development kit consists of the Olympus single board computer fitted with a 733MHz Intel Celeron CPU (other options available), 256Mbyte RAM, hard disk drive, PSU, serial and Ethernet cable sets, DVI interface board, quickstart manual and the development kit utility CD.

There is also an option for a 6.5in NEC VGA TFT colour display.

The Olympus is an EBX format (5.75 x 8in) Socket 370 single board computer which can be fitted with the Intel Celeron and Pentium III processors up to 1GHz (133MHz FSB).

The board also offers high performance S3 ProSavage graphics, 10/100baseTx Ethernet, four serial ports, and expansion via a PCI slot, CompactFlash socket and industry standard PC/104 bus.
