ELinOS from SYSGO on PowerPC platforms from MEN. Enough has been written about the advantages of Embedded Linux. The advantages of PowerPC platforms are also well known. Together, they surpass any "Wintel" solution in terms of price, reliability and compactness. For this reason, MEN Mikro Elektronik and SYSGO have joined forces to present an unbeatable product family: SYSGO's ELinOS on all MEN's Kahlua II-based single-board computers.

The distribution for embedded Linux originating from Germany is now also available for ARM processors and will be presented to the public at Embedded Systems 2002. ELinOS has been extended by special functions tailored to the ARM architecture and will be available not only for Intel x86, PowerPC but also for the widely used ARM processors from March 2002.

Within 10 years, a business start-up by three engineers in the TechnologieZentrum Mainz became an economically sound company with 40 employees at three locations.

The embedded Linux distribution ELinOS has been equipped with additional real-time features.

Especially for programmers who are looking for an introduction to the development of embedded systems under Linux, SYSGO will offer training courses from September this year.

ELinOS, the German distribution and toolchain for embedded Linux is now available in English. Up to now, close to 500 companies are using ELinOS in the German speaking market, making ELinOS the best selling Embedded Linux toolchain in the region. The latest version is based on Linux Kernel 2.4 and has been equipped with the kernel extension RTAI, thus allowing the use of Linux in the context of hard real-time tasks. ELinOS is available, not only as version for x86 processors, but also for…

ELinOS, the only distribution for embedded Linux to come from Germany so far, will be extended by numerous functions in version 2.0.

In addition to the version for Intel processors, the development environment ELinOS is now also available for the PowerPC in German and English language versions.

The so far only development environment for embedded Linux coming from Germany will be extended by special PowerPC functions. This will extend the application range of the integrated development environment ELinOS and support not only Intel but also PowerPC processors. A first prototype of ELinOS 2.0 will be presented at the Embedded Systems 2001 in Nuremberg already with the new Linux Kernel 2.4.
