Catalyst Module Development Kit

This is the development kit for the OEM who plants to design his own carrier board for a system based on Catalyst technology. This system offers maximum plug in support for the various standard interfaces available on the Atom/Catalyst module, and is available in two versions- either the commercial temperature range, or the extended Atom XL temperature range.

The Catalyst Atom Development Kit includes a pre-built OS image, with all drivers in place that is ready for your applications software, out of the box. The kit is offered with fully licensed:

There is no need to develop and integrate drivers with Platform Builder or other tools normally required for board access. The dev system, as it comes to you, boots up, with all hardware supported, and is ready for installation of your applications code.

Design Services

If you need to optimize the Linux or Windows operating system image, Eurotech's design engineers can work with you, either to enhance the features of the operating system or reduce the footprint to save storage space. Eurotech has a track record of developing and integrating new drivers to achieve the very best from the customers' chosen OS.
