M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers Ltd. (Nasdaq: FLSH) announced that leading L
inux operating system developers are providing support for DiskOnChip in exist
ing and upcoming Linux distributions. LineoTM, a leading developer of embedded
Linux systems software, is currently integrating support for DiskOnChip into
EmbedixTM, its embedded Linux software line. Infomatec AG (Frankfurt New Marke
t Exchange Security Identification Number 622200) has also integrated DiskOnCh
ip into its Java network technology.
Linux-based products supporting DiskOnChip are now shipping in high volume
in a wide range of applications including set-top boxes, Internet infrastruct
ure, networking and embedded devices. With the huge increase in demand for Lin
ux in these markets, the addition of Lineo to the existing support providers w
ill offer additional solutions to the design community.
Linux, an open source Unix-compatible operating system that is scalable do
wn to a size as low as 1MB, is suited for use with M-Systems' DiskOnChip produ
cts that range in capacity from 8 to 288MB. Within its small footprint and sol
id-state nature, DiskOnChip provides ample capacity for the operating system,
applications and data files needed in most Linux-based devices. DiskOnChip can
also serve as a hard disk disaster recovery device in Linux-based server and
Internet infrastructure applications.
In a recent poll conducted by LinuxDevices.Com, DiskOnChip was selected as
the storage medium of choice for embedded, real-time and applied computing ap
plications running Linux. The survey yielded the following results when asked,
"What will the operating software load from?"
33% of respondents chose DiskOnChip
26% chose ordinary EPROM/ROM/Flash
11% chose conventional IDE har
