At the Linux kernel, Intrinsyc supports ARM and PowerPC
architectures. Both code bases are tightly synchronized with the latest
stable branches adopted in the Linux community. The ARM 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.
