PEGASUS Development Kit for embedded Linux with secure communications and options for using embedded Java™ and IBM WebSphere® enabled technology.

The PEGASUS Development Kit for Embedded Linux with optional Java Technology features a compact implementation of the GNU/Linux operating system based on the proven 2.6 kernel release. This has  been optimized for use on Arcom hardware platforms and is pre-loaded and

configured into the embedded Flash. This offers an embedded version of Linux with a proven background, combined with a high reliability journalling Flash File system.

Arcom recognizes that Linux is used extensively in deeply embedded communications solutions and that secure communications should be an important part of any telemetry 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. OpenSSH encrypts 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.

The Development Kit can also be used with Java technology (J2ME) implemented with the IBM J9 JVM. Using the WebSphere Studio Device Developer (WSDD) IDE tools for embedded Java you can create powerful Java applications with rich communication and device management features. Arcom can also provide drivers to communicate with a WebSphere MQ Integrator information broker using MQTT (telemetry transport). Please contact Arcom Support for further details.

The Development Kit includes the PEGASUS PC/104 embedded PC single board computer fitted with 32Mbytes of DRAM and 16Mbytes of Flash. The PEGASUS is fitted inside a rugged enclosure and includes development cables, power supply, software and a comprehensive information CD.
