Compatible Architectures: EBX, EPIC, PC/104, PC/104-Plus, SUMIT-ISM, STD Bus, and WinSystems’ Open Frame Panel PCs

To help Linux designers reduce time and cost, WinSystems offers Quickstart Kits for their industrial single board computers (SBCs). Each Quickstart Kit is SBC specific and provides the necessary hardware to ease development and testing.

Derived from Ubuntu distribution packages, these Quickstart Kits provide a free, open-source Linux operating system. The Debian/Ubuntu apt-get package management system is extremely flexible to use and allows the use of thousands of different packages which can be easily added or removed to support applicationspecific requirements. By default the LXDE (Lightweight X Desktop Environment) is provided as it offers a reduced GUI footprint that runs smoothly on low power CPUs. The sample OS includes services common on embedded systems such as a Lighttpd webserver, Dillo Web browser, vsftpd FTP server, SSH (Secure Shell) server and client, GNOME Display Manager, ALSA sound support, and serial console.

WinSystems’ SBCs feature compact size, robust design, and extended temperature operation making them ideal for space-limited, harsh industrial applications. These SBCs also provide flat panel display and CRT support along with wired and wireless connectivity. They are available in various form factors and CPU options. Small form factors include: (a) stackable PC/104, and SUMITISM boards (3.6” x 3.8”), (b) EPIC (4.5” x 6.5”), and (c) EBX (5.75” x 8.0”). EPIC and EBX SBCs provide additional I/O functions and can be expanded with stacked PC/104 modules if specialty I/O is needed.
