Is Linux available on the PC56?
Article Number: 333 | Rating: 2/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 7:58 PM

We do not offer a PC56 loaded with Linux. It is possible to install Linux on the PC56, but the drivers to handle the backplane and the special features (LED screen, switch, temperature sensor) are not available, so it will behave like any embedded PC.

However the MVI56E-LDM (Linux Development Module) offers a complete Linux development environment.
