Local company Keystone Electronic Solutions launched Guinnux, a Linux-based operating system distribution developed in-house by a team of electronic engineers.
The launch took place at National Electronics Week 2012 where Guinnux was demonstrated in a live environment using the Guinnux Starter Kit, which is also available for evaluation from Keystone.
There are three parts to Guinnux. The first part includes the KSES SAM9 architecture BSPs (board support packages), kernel binary and default root file system image. The second part is the Guinnux packaged application repository, and the third part is the Guinnux development environment which includes GNU toolchain binaries, kernel patches and development files for application libraries.
All binaries were built with the ARM-EABI toolchain in order to make all packages and applications binary-compatible with all ARM-EABI architectures.
The Guinnux Starter Kit was created to serve as an easy entry point for the evaluation of the Guinnux runtime and development environment. The kit consists of an ARM9-based development board with a 5 V/220 V a.c. external power supply and MicroSD card for use with the development board.
The Guinnux development board has several I/O interfaces such as two x RS232 serial interfaces, USB 1.1 Host and Device ports, 10/100 Mbps LAN interface and an I/O expansion connector to provide access to all unused I/O / peripheral functionality on the board.
The development board is shipped with the latest Guinnux Linux kernel pre-programmed onto the board and the default Guinnux ext4 root file system loaded onto the accompanying microSD card. The Guinnux kernel binary and root file system images are available for download from www.guinnux.org and the development board can be upgraded or reprogrammed through the onboard Redboot boot loader.
