kernel base supports SA1100 and PXA250/255. IBM's PowerPC 405EP embedded
processor is a new member in our repository. On top of the Linux
kernels, Intrinsyc has its I-Linux distribution file system. The
Intrinsyc Linux distribution is based on the Familiar Distribution which
was originally designed for use on the HP/Compaq iPAQ PDA, but has
proven to be easily adaptable to a wide range of ARM-based hardware.
Intrinsyc has also ported the Familiar packages onto its new PowerPC
architecture, providing a unique solution not currently offered from
anyone else for any device on the market. Familiar Linux is based on
package feeds. Once you install the base file system image, users can
install additional applications as packages over the network and tailor
their own file systems to specific needs.
