Diamond Systems’ Flash Linux provides a quick-start compact Linux environment based on the Slackware 2.4 kernel. It is preconfigured for our embedded CPU boards and includes our Universal Driver for I/O programming. It is available both as a binary image that can be loaded onto a flashdisk module, or a pre-loaded flashdisk, that you can install on your CPU board and power on for immediate operation. Flash Linux utilizes the Minix file system for enhanced file protection during power loss or improper shutdown, and the Lilo bootloader for a quick 15 second boot time.

The CD includes binary images of the flashdisk files that you may copy freely onto your own flashdisks.

The 20GB hard drive is pre-loaded with a current desktop Linux distribution, including a full set of software development tools ready to run. This can be used to create an instant development system running on the target CPU, so you can develop application code and run it immediately on the same system.
