Lantronix Introduces New Linux Capability with Embedded Device Server MatchPort AR
Partners with Nissin Systems to bring quicker and more flexible application development to the Linux community
Irvine, CA – 2009 Embedded Systems Conference – March 30, 2009 – Lantronix, Inc. (Nasdaq:LTRX), a leading provider of secure, remote device networking and data center management technologies, today announced support for Linux on their wired embedded device server product, MatchPort AR. The new offering caters to the growing Linux development community, expanding the market opportunity for the product.
The Linux software development kit (SDK) significantly simplifies and accelerates the process of development on Linux-based platforms. It provides a board support package (BSP) for MatchPort AR along with a turnkey development environment that includes an industry-validated set of Linux software tools built around the Linux 2.6 kernel. Combined with standard GNU toolchains, developers can easily integrate their applications using pre-defined configuration profiles and software assembly tools. Sample applications are provided within the SDK, allowing developers to jump-start their application development.
With the new MatchPort AR SDK, users have the advantage of the well-established Linux community. The product’s ease-of-use allows administrators to create new applications with greater flexibility, improving time to market and sales opportunity. Lantronix also provides robust firmware upgrade and system recovery tools that ease the pain of maintaining previously-deployed devices. Additionally, in the event of a failure, the MatchPort AR can recover the system – sparing developers from serious setbacks.
MatchPort AR with Linux development kits will be available in April. Customers looking to receive a test kit can contact sales@lantronix.com for further information.
