Artila's ARM9-Based Embedded Computer Challenges Our Notion of What an Industrial Computer Is

Artila Releases Its First DIN-Rail Linux-based ARM9 Box Computer

Compact DIN-Rail Linux-based ARM9 Box Computer Allows Flexible Onsite Installation.

Taipei, Taiwan–October,2011-- Artila Electronics, the leading designer and manufacturer of Linux-ready ARM9 industrial PC,is proud to announce the launch of PAC-4000, Artila’s first DIN-Rail Industrial ARM9Linux-basedBox Computer.

PAC-4000 has robust metal casing with a DIN-Rail mounting kit attached to its back side. PAC-4000 is powered by 400MHzAT91SAM9G20ARM9 Processor with memory management unit, and equipped with 64MB SDRAM, 128MB NAND Flash, and 2MB DATAFlash.In addition, PAC-4000 integrates two 10/100Mbps Ethernet, two RS-232 serial ports, two RS-232 or isolated RS-485 ports, two USB hosts, and one MicroSD socket into a compact metal box. The DIN-Rail also makes PAC-4000’s onsite installation flexible.

PAC-4000 is pre-installed with Linux 2.6.29 OS and busybox utility collection. The UBI file system is employed to provide improved performance and longer lifetime for NAND Flash compared to JFFS2. Moreover, the DataFlash includes a backup Linux file system which will automatically boot up PAC-4000 in case the primary NAND Flash fails. The failure-proof and redundant booting design makes PAC-4000 an ideal platform for many mission-critical applications.

In terms of package management system, PAC-4000 uses ipkg, a lightweight system that is resembled to Debian’s dpkg. This allows users to easily install, upgrade, and remove the software package. Artila continuously increases and updates the software package to its ftp site for the users to download for free to install the software package they need from the internet.

Useful software utilities are also provided for easy management and development of PAC-4000, including webmin, and the GNU tool chain, which includes a C/C++ cross compiler and Glibc.
