“It is a well-kept secret that ADI is one of the longest-standing ATCA suppliers in the market, with continuous experience developing and building ultra high-performance signal processors in the ATCA format since 2003,” said Steve Yates, President, Founder and CTO of ADI Engineering.  ”Now our new future generation Intel Architecture ATCA and AMC reference designs expand ADI’s traditions of technical leadership with both emerging Intel processors and xTCA solutions.  And these new reference platforms finally add the unique enablement of ADI’s Open IP model to the xTCA market, reducing costs, speeding time to market, accelerating access to new technologies, and restoring customer design ownership and direct manufacturing.”

ADI is currently accepting reference platform pre-orders, delivering Hardware and Firmware Design Source Kits, and is actively developing and producing private labeled OEM semi-custom solutions.  Since ADI’s new ADI ATCA and AMC/MicroTCA reference platforms are based on a future generation Intel processor, additional details are currently only available under NDA.  Please Contact Us for details.

Embedded World (Germany) March 2nd, 2010 – Arium (Tustin, CA) and ADI Engineering (Charlottesville, VA) today announced at the Embedded World Conference that Arium’s AE Linux has been ported onto ADI Engineering’s Intel Atom-based Cinnamon Bay Single Board Computer (SBC) platform.  Arium’s AE Linux distribution is targeted for headless designs requiring a small file system and kernel footprint. The Cinnamon platform is targeted at OEMs and embedded device developers who desire high-performance, highly-integrated computing platforms where they can directly boot AE Linux from a microSD card, making for a very compact and low-cost solution.

The AE Linux root file system takes up just 117 Mbytes and the kernel image is 4.2 Mbytes for a total microSD memory requirement of 122 Mbytes. After boot, AE Linux utilizes just 10.6 Mbytes and 172 Kbytes of buffers and cache out of a total Cinnamon Bay capacity of up to 2GB of DRAM.

“For developers who are looking to build a low cost, headless system, AE Linux is a good choice”, stated Larry Traylor, Arium CEO, “ADI Engineering’s Cinnamon Bay is the perfect SBC platform for creating highly-integrated Linux solutions based on AE Linux, with low development costs per seat and a shortened time-to-market”.

“ADI Engineering’s Cinnamon Bay SBC platform is an ideal choice for embedded device designs which are governed by small size, high performance, and quick time-to-market,” said Steve Yates, ADI Engineering’s CTO. “Arium’s AE Linux, with its small footprint and direct booting from microSD, is a great choice for systems designers wishing to create highly-integrated device designs.”

To facilitate evaluation and creation of new products based on Cinnamon Bay and AE Linux, ADI Engineering will be providing an AE Linux distribution with certain Cinnamon Bay Development Kits. Contact ADI Engineering for more details.

About AE Linux

AE Linux is a package that is targeted to developers who want a fast and easy solution to run an embedded Linux kernel on their Intel-based platform.  This distribution uses the standard Linux build flow and is made from unmodified public distributions so that migration to newer or different Linux components is unencumbered.

The distribution is very lean while providing complete support that may be used for an embedded product. This allows use of a small file system.

Included with the Cinnamon Bay SBC is an Arium package that contains:

  1. A complete tool chain to build both kernel and applications. This includes ready-to-run binaries
  2. A complete source tree with all make files, et cetera to build a 2.6.29.3 kernel
  3. Busy Box 1.14.1 target utility package
  4. A complete operational file system image for the target
  5. Scripts for operations such as copying a file system image
  6. Complete documentation on how to install the kit and get started
  7. A 2 Gbyte microSD card containing a ready to boot root file system and kernel

AE Linux is also available free for download at:
