Preliminary

Setting up a Panel PC can be a Puzzling experience. However, the PPC-E10+ Compact Panel PC comes ready to run with the Operating System installed on flash disk. Apply power and watch either the Linux X Windows or the Windows CE User Interface appear on the vivid color LCD. Interact with the PPC-E10+ using the responsive integrated touchscreen. Everything works out of the box, allowing you to concentrate on your application, rather than building and configuring device drivers. Just Write-It and Run-It.

Custom Linux builds are also available on request.

PPC-E10 Linux Development

EMAC provides a Free Eclipse IDE that is pre-integrated to provide everything the user needs for developing PPC-E10 applications. All the compiling, converting and downloading inherent to development can be done from one easy to use high level interface. The distribution provides an SDK for the EMAC PPC-E10 which contains source examples and Device Drivers.

The EMAC Eclipse IDE is a powerful, yet flexible Integrated Development Environment for the PPC-E10 and even features SVN version control support. For a screen shot of EMAC's Linux Eclipse based Development Environment click here.

The PPC-E10 can use most of the EMAC's standard Linux Modules including the Xenomai Real Time, Php, SQLite and Lighttpd web server modules. For a listing of these module see our Embedded Linux Operating Systems Page.
