Linux Brain for OEMs

Feb. 1, 2004
As the first product available in the vendor’s new SNAP OEM I/O family of processors, the SNAP-ARL-ASDS brain, is a highly programmable, Linux-based I/O processor for use by OEMs, IT professionals and others seeking to interface with the full line of the vendor’s full line of SNAP I/O modules.

The SNAP-ARL-ASDS processor (or brain) is an ARM-based, compact processor that mounts on standard SNAP B-series mounting racks and interfaces with a mix of analog, digital and serial SNAP I/O modules. Unlike other SNAP Ethernet-based brains, SNAP OEM I/O is not programmed with the vendor’s ioControl software. Instead, advanced programmers can use Linux-based tools to develop custom applications for the brain to execute and communicate with the vendor’s I/O modules. The SNAP-ARL-ASDS, which includes an RS-232 serial port and 10Mbps Ethernet connection, supports multiple file transfer protocols, including FTP and Samba, and comes with an installed Linux kernel and all necessary drivers.
