More information

Note: The IXP425 network processor also includes a WAN/HSS network processor engine (for UTOPIA 2). This is not connected on the VULCAN SBC.

The VULCAN is supported with a ready-to-run Development Kit for embedded Linux. Arcom uses RedBoot™, a firmware utility based on the eCos RTOS, to initialise the board. This also serves as the boot manager for embedded Linux as well as a download and debug tool for embedded Linux applications.

Technical Documentation: Arcom provides on-line access to detailed technical documentation to help you select the best product for your application. Click here to download the manual for the VULCAN single board computer and related products.

For cost sensitive high volume applications Arcom offers the VULCAN-Lite - an alternative configuration based on the 266MHz IXP420 fitted with 64Mbytes DRAM and 16Mbytes Flash. Check out the VULCAN-Lite web page for more details.
