LynuxWorks announced its BlueCat 5.6 Linux operating system supports the latest versions of the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series platform, which includes industrial temperature-range options. The first board to have BlueCat running with the new Intel Atom processor is the Portwell PEB-2738. A fully featured platform offering, this is particularly well suited to medical, military and industrial low-power applications. BlueCat Linux 5.6, based on the 2.6.23 kernel, is an implementation of the Linux model enhanced for use in embedded systems ranging from small consumer-type devices to large-scale, multi-CPU systems.
