Connect Tech used embedded Linux in a line of compact, intelligent Ethernet-to-serial interface adapters introduced last year. The Blue Heat/Net devices enable remote monitoring of a wide range of serial-interfaced equipment over the Web or on a local network, without requiring a dedicated PC.

The devices run uClinux on a ColdFire embedded processor equipped with 16MB SDRAM and 2MB Flash memory, and are supported by a free uClinux SDK that enables developers to customize their operation.

Learn more about the Blue Heat/Net devices, and their use of uClinux and other open-source software components, from our complete device profile:
