NetSilicon is offering a uClinux software development kit (SDK) for its NET+50 system-on-chip (SoC), and will soon release a full Linux SDK for its recently introduced NS9750 chip. The ARM-based SoCs integrate networking functions, and target point-of-sale (POS) terminals, networked displays, projectors, thin clients, and access control applications.

NetSilicon partner FS Forth-Systeme developed the uClinux and Linux ports the SDKs are based on.

NetSilicon's NET+50 is a simple integrated hardware and software device targeting network-connected electronic devices. It was first introduced in April, 2001.

NetSilicon's new ARM-9 based NS9750 is NetSilicon's top of the line NET+ARM processor. It integrates memory management unit (MMU), LCD controller, and NetSilicon's NET+Works network stack.

"While most of our customers opt for the royalty free NET+Works development kit, customers with significant experience and investment in Linux can also now easily use the NS9750," said Tim Counihan, marketing VP.

NetSilicon is a division of Digi International. It specializes in network-attached processors and device connectivity software.
