V3 Linux Board Support Package

The V3 Linux Board Support Package (BSP) is a complete source package for an embedded Linux system. The BSP works in conjuction with the V3 Hurricane single board computer and the Matahari 64 passive backplane. The Hurricane kit includes a powerful MIPS processor, the V320USC PCI System Controller, an expandable memory subsystem, a flexible boot/initialization scheme, serial and parallel ports, and software support tools--the essential features of an embedded PCI system. The Matahari 64 system provides additional slots that allow for system expansion.

Features:

• Linux RedHat-based distribution (kernel version 2.2.12)
  
• Complete software package that enables the creation of a Linux image capable of supporting the QED RM5231 processor and V320USC devices
  
• Driver support for a variety of network access equipment and other PCI-based peripherals for internet applications
  
• Complete support package for the development of a 32-bit MIPS embedded PCI application
  
• Keyboard and mouse support via USB
