Development kits supporting industrial PC104, embedded PC + SBCs
 
 Windows® CE .NET / CE 5.0
Windows CE is the choice for those requiring a small, supremely reliable 'real-time' operating system, yet one which can still provide a graphically rich experience. Windows CE is perfect for creating optimised, cost-sensitive devices, when the developer has full control over the application code to be deployed. Windows CE requires different application executables to those intended for standard 'desktop' Windows, although the same Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional development tools can be used to create them. Supporting the .NET Compact Framework, Windows CE allows you to rapidly develop your device application in a familiar environment using either embedded Visual C/C++, Visual Basic .NET or Visual C# .NET.
VIPER Intel XScale based VIPER board pre-loaded with a comprehensive build of Windows CE 5.0 including device drivers for the relevant features of the SBC and an extensive range of add-ons. The Development Kit includes a complete enclosure, uninterruptible power supply, display and touchscreen, as well as a copy of Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ for immediate application development.

The Development Kit includes eMbedded Visual C++ for immediate application development.
SBC-GX533 400MHz AMD Geode GX (GX2) based SBC-GX533 board pre-loaded with a comprehensive build of Windows CE 5.0, including device drivers for the relevant features of the SBC and an extensive range of add-ons and the .NET Compact Framework. The Development Kit also includes eMbedded Visual C++ for immediate application development.
 
 Windows® XP Embedded
Windows XP Embedded is a componentised version of Windows XP Professional, specifically designed to run from solid-state Flash memory apposed to a mechanical hard drive. Compared with Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded provides a compact operating system with enhanced reliability and a reduced licence cost. It's ideal if you already have an application written for a desktop PC, or if your project relies on third-party hardware where only Windows XP drivers exist. Windows XP Embedded allows you to utilise the full power of Windows XP Professional in a more focused form, to rapidly create advanced and reliable embedded devices, without the learning curve often associated with a new operating system.

OLYMPUS 1GHz Pentium III OLYMPUS Development Kit for Microsoft Windows XP Embedded (SP1) features fully licensed XP Embedded operating system pre-loaded and configured on a 512Mbyte CompactFlash card - that means you do not need to use Windows Embedded Studio.
SBC-GX533 400MHz AMD Geode GX (GX2) based SBC-GX533 Development Kit for Microsoft Windows XP Embedded (SP2) features fully licensed XP Embedded operating system pre-loaded and configured on a 1Gbyte CompactFlash card - everything is installed and ready to go.
 
 Linux/Java™
Embedded Linux is a size optimised version of Linux based on a 2.6 kernel distribution designed specifically for embedded devices. Its value lies in the ability to rapidly create a wide range of embedded devices, with the added benefit of an almost unlimited amount of open-source software and resources. Embedded Linux has been used in devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, media players and many other consumer electronics products, although its main forte is in the creation of robust network oriented communication or data acquisition devices. The accepted Linux GUN C/C++ software tools are including in the Development Kit, ensuring application development is simple. Its highly stable, secure and most of all configurable nature, mean the only real limitation of embedded Linux is in the developer's ability.
