Recently, Linux has been adopted widely by many users because of the properties of stability, open source, and free charge. In the mean while, the development of Linux is supported by many large international companies and the function in Linux is not inferior to Windows so that Linux OS is more and more popular and accepted. In the other hand, the hardware requirement that Linux OS can works in embedded system smoothly is not high, just only 386 CPU or better and 8 MB RAM. Therefore except Win CE of Microsoft, Linux has been already another good choice in embedded OS.

LinPAC-8x81 equips a AMD LX800 CPU (500MHz) running a Linux kernel 2.6.18 Operating System, variant connectivity (VGA, USB, Ethernet, RS-232/485) and 0/3/7 slots for high performance parallel I/O modules (high profile I-8K series) and serial-type I/O modules (high profile I-87K I/O modules).

Compared to the first generation LinCon-8000, it not only improves the CPU performance (from 206 MHz to 500 MHz) and upgrading OS (from Linux kernel 2.4 to Linux kernel 2.6), but also adds many reliability features, such as dual LAN, redundant power input, dual battery backup SRAM, etc. That’s the most powerful control system.

[Development Environment]
LinPAC SDK :
ICP DAS provides the library file － libi8k.a which includes all the functions of the I-7000/8000/87k series modules. Users can develop LinPAC-8X81 Applications easily by GNU C Language.

[Built-in Server]
Web Server: Through these servers, users active web pages can be placed in the LinPAC and make LinPAC be a Web Site.
Telnet Server, SSH Server: Through these servers, users can remote control and transfer files with LinPAC by encrypting mode.

[Security]
Unique Serial Number: As soon as "Unique Serial Number" added in users' program, then users' program will be locked for this LinPAC.

[Interpreter]
Perl, PHP: The program written by Perl and PHP interpret language can be also executed in the LinPAC.

[GUI]
GTK+ Library: Users can write LinPAC GUI programs by using GTK+ library.

[Other]
Dual Watchdog Timer
Built-In Flash Disk (4 GB)
Dual Battery-Backup SRAM (512 KB)
There are one resolution mode supported in the LinPAC.
