Successful Linux porting to custom board with Atmel AT91SAM9RL64 processor

Friday, April 9th, 2010

We announce yet another design win which resulted in successful Linux porting to customized embedded board with Atmel AT91SAM9RL64 processor.

Small form-factor stacked board with CAN, WiFi and GPS interfaces was specially designed for use in automotive environments for data capture purposes. Cutting-edge 2.6.34 Linux kernel gives an advantage of CAN support via PF_CAN socket API and advanced power-saving techniques in IEEE802.11 wireless stack and Marvell “libertas” Linux driver.
