Eugene, OR — VersaLogic Corp. today announced a new Linux support package for its Pentium M-powered EBX single board computer (Cobra). The package is based on the popular open source Debian Linux which has been adapted for easy installation and full support of the Cobra’s hardware features. The Linux install CD greatly simplifies hardware setup by eliminating the need for programming and driver installation on the part of the developer. The Debian Linux OS can be used while in development stages as a means of exploring the capabilities of the board, or it can be used as the base OS in a complete embedded system.

With the use of bundled software, embedded engineers are able to move through the development stage faster and obtain an advantage over the competition. Engineers who have expressed interest in the Linux OS, but aren't familiar with the required set up procedures are the target audience for this software. VersaLogic’s VP of Engineering, Gary Harris states, “This package makes Linux installation on the Cobra as easy, or easier, than most other commercial operating systems."

The software CD is available as part of a product evaluation order of a VersaLogic Cobra single board computer. To order a free 45-day product evaluation that includes the Cobra and the Debian Linux package, contact the VersaLogic Corp. Technical Sales department at (541) 485-8575 or info@VersaLogic.com.
