UEIPAC Linux Programmer’s Toolkit for ARM/SoloX

The UEIPAC Linux Programming Toolkit for ARM/SoloX provides the software tools necessary to create an embedded application targeting Linux on the PowerDNA’s -11/-12 processors. This toolkit can develop applications on Linux or Windows operating system. Under Linux, we support any popular Linux distribution such as Cent OS, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Fedora , Suse. Under Windows, we support WSL or Cygwin environment. Once the application is developed it will run directly on the UEIPAC.

You must purchase one copy of the UEIPAC Linux TK SX 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.

The development environment provided includes:

• GCC to cross-compile and application targeting the PowerDNA ARM module.
• GNU toolchain tools such as make.
• Standard Linux libraries such as glibc.
• Runs Linux_rt preempt patch.
• PowerDNA library to access the various PowerDNA data acquisition devices.

The actual application runs as a regular Linux process giving you access to the standard POSIX API provided by the GNU C runtime library (glibc)
as well as any other library that can be compiled for Linux (for example: libxml, libaudiofile…).

The toolkit comes with a library dedicated to communicating with the PowerDNA I/O layers. 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 Cubes may be ported directly to the embedded Linux with few modifications.
