Etlinux 1.2.1

etLinux is an embedded linux distribution, intended for PC/104 boards with flash disk (like M-Systems DiskOnChip) with very little memory and disk space (starting from 2Mb of RAM and 2Mb of flash disk).
Subsequently well refer to the development platform as the "host system" and to the target machine (the one on which etLinux will run) ad the "target system".
Etlinux is a complete Linux-based system designed to run on very small industrial computers. It has been designed to be small, modular, flexible and complete.
Its reduced memory and disk requirements make it ideal for all cost-sensitive situations, while at the same time its modularity and completeness give the full power of unix even for embedded applications.
Etlinux is ideal in all embedded system applications where advanced unix facilities are a must: preemptive multitasking, multithreading, memory protection, fast I/O, enhanced reliability, speed, ...
Moreover, source code availability is a guarantee for the longevity of Etlinux based products.
But perhaps the greatest advantage over competitors is given by the enormous and proven availability of advanced development tools, documentation and sources, giving an effective edge to the developer and reducing the time to market.
In fact the availability of constantly updated quality C/C++ compilers, debuggers, libraries, interpreted languages, and other tools is the most compelling reason to switch away from old proprietary embedded development environments.
