VULCAN embedded Linux Development Kit

The ZyWAN-SDK is a hardware and software Development Kit providing a quick-to-market wireless platform designed for the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ASP (Application Service Provider) markets where it offers the ZyWAN Hardware and a robust 2.6 Linux Kernel and IBM’s WCTME (Workplace Client Technology, Micro Edition) extensive J2ME runtime environment enabled software platform for certified cellular solutions. The ZyWAN-SDK operates on GSM/GPRS, EvDO/1xRTT CDMA and iDEN cellular networks offering solutions for many applications including wireless internet access, AVL, telemetry, SCADA, mobile computing, vehicle tracking and AMR. The ZyWAN-SDK is very flexible with optional interfaces including 802.11, GPS, Zigbee, CANbus, I/O expansion and VGA monitor & touch screen.

The ZyWAN-SDK includes the fully populated 520MHz PXA270 based ZEUS embedded single board computer fitted with 128MB of DRAM, 32MB of Flash, and wide input DC/DC PSU along with cables, connectors, AC power supply, software and an information CD.

Arcom recognizes that Linux is used extensively in deeply embedded solutions and that secure communications is an important part of any application involved in control and monitoring functions. Many users of telnet, rlogin and ftp may not realize that password information is transmitted across the Internet unencrypted. Arcom uses OpenSSH to encrypt all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks. OpenSSH can also provide a variety of secure tunneling capabilities and authentication methods.

Design Services
If you need to optimize the operating system image, Arcom offers the technical expertise of a dedicated embedded Linux development team to work with you, either to enhance the features of the operating system or reduce the footprint to save storage space. Arcom has been offering OEM embedded Linux solutions since 1999 and has worked with many customers to develop and integrate new drivers and achieve the very best from embedded Linux.
