“Cambridge technology firm Amino Communications has
developed what it claims is world’s smallest ever Linux system,
optimised to function in Internet enabled set-top boxes, Web phones
and other embedded devices.”
“The Linux OS is fully contained on a tiny printed circuit board
(PCB) measuring just 49mm by 98mm. It is ideally suited to powering
a range of embedded technologies, although it has been specifically
designed by Amino to run set-top television boxes for connecting to
the Net. Amino is currently looking for manufacturers to help bring
a Linux set top box to market.”
“In combination with Tao’s ELATE Java virtual processor
environment, Amino’s Linux system offers realistic graphical
performance in compact network devices.”
