Arium Embedded Linux (AE Linux) is a compact distribution that includes the basic components needed for embedded products based on IA-32 and Intel® 64 processors.
AE Linux includes a prebuilt kernel as well as all of the source and the complete tool chain for building the kernel and applications.
The package is designed for fast and easy Linux development with scripts to aid developers into designing and debugging kernel and user space code quickly.
AE Linux includes all source, a pre-build kernel with Arium debug hooks, and deployment scripts which include target flash programming. The distribution uses the standard Linux build flow and is made from unmodified public distributions so that migration to newer or different Linux components is unemcumbered. The distribution is very lean while providing complete support for the targeted simpler IA-based designs. This allows small file systems (CF or similar). A professional programmer should easily install the entire kit and bring up a target in one hour or less. There is no need for the developer to build any host side standard tools.
The distribution also includes Arium's debug hooks to accomidate a seamless debug environment using Arium JTAG debuggers. Developers can debug from board reset through UEFI, kernel boot, kernel module drivers, and application code.
AE Linix is validated on the Intel Essential Series.
