Lantronix, a provider of device networking and data centre management technologies, has released the EDS1100 and EDS2100 Linux software development kit (SDK), which allows Linux developers to create applications on the EDS1100/2100.
The company said that its SDK is built on 2.6 Linux kernel and includes a set of components for building network-enabled products and applications using Linux.
Lantronix has also unveiled firmware updates for the XPort Pro Linux SDK and MatchPort AR Linux SDK, available for download.
According to the company, the EDS1100 and EDS2100 Linux SDK improvements include: uClinux baseline upgrade (Linux kernel 2.6.29); IPv6-ready certification; SDK VMWare VM Image to enable developers to build, deploy, customise and maintain Linux applications in a Windows environment; and Serial-to-Ethernet with SSL and SSH support sample application.
Daryl Miller, vice president of engineering for Lantronix, said: "While we will continue to offer our customers the tools to develop products using our tried and true operating systems, expanding our Linux offerings extends the capabilities of our products for current customer needs and opens up our products to an exponentially wider audience. Every new product we launch will now support Linux."
