The UEIPAC Linux Programming Toolkits provide the software tools necessary to create an embedded application targeting Linux on either the UEIPAC-02/-03 processors, -11/-12 processors, or its -33/-3A processors. Once the application is developed it will run directly on the UEIPAC.
You must purchase one copy of the UEIPAC Linux TK, UEIPAC Linux TK SX, or UEIPAC Linux TK ZQ before you are able to write programs for the UEIPAC. However, you need only purchase one package regardless of how many UEIPAC Cubes you are writing programs for or are planning to deploy.
PowerPC:
The programmer’s toolkit provides the software tools necessary to create an embedded application targeting Linux on the UEIPAC’s PowerPC processor. This includes most popular versions of Linux such as Fedora and Suse. The development environment runs on a Linux PC or in the Cygwin environment on a Windows PC. The UEIPAC is also supported by the popular Eclipse IDE. Applications requiring hard real-time functionality are possible using the Xenomai 3.05 Linux extension or the Real-Time Linux capability included in the 4.4.115 series kernel. The RT Linux kernel must be used for proper IEEE-1588 performance.
SoloX:
The programmer’s toolkit provides the software tools necessary to create an embedded application targeting Linux on the UEIPAC’s ARMv7 32-bit processor. This includes most popular versions of Linux such as Fedora and Ubuntu. The development environment runs on a Linux PC or in the Cygwin environment on a Windows PC. The UEIPAC is also supported by the popular Eclipse IDE. Applications requiring hard real-time functionality are possible with the Real-Time Linux capability included in the 4.9.88 series kernel.
The UEIPAC development environment includes:
Zynq:
The programmer’s toolkit provides the software tools necessary to create an embedded application targeting Linux on the UEIPAC’s ARMv8 64-bit processor. This includes most popular versions of Linux, such as Fedora and Ubuntu. The development environment runs on a Linux PC or in the WSL 2 environment on a Windows PC. Applications requiring hard real-time functionality are possible with the Real-Time Linux capability included in the 5.4.0 series kernel.
The UEIPAC development environment includes:
The toolkit comes with a library dedicated to communicating with all UEI’s data acquisition, control, and avionic boards. It provides the same powerful yet straightforward API as the standard hosted PowerDNA library. This allows you to reuse existing PowerDNA programs developed to run on a host PC and communicate with PowerDNA over the network. Programs designed to run on the standard hosted PowerDNA hardware may be ported directly to the embedded Linux with few modifications.

Creating an SD card for the UEIPac is as easy as running a script in the root file system. We’ve made this short video to show you how to do it.
The UEIPAC offers an unprecedented combination of flexibility, high performance, low cost and small size. The unit is an ideal solution in a wide variety of measurement and control applications including: Temperature control, Remote/unmanned vehicle control, Hardware in-the-loop (HIL) and more.
While UEI systems are engineered for data acquisition, simulation and control, our hardware falls into two basic categories – PowerDNA and UEIPAC. This video illustrates the differences between each.
