Operating Systems
The Development Kits support the following:
* Kit-1 PXA255 based: Linux 2.6.17
* Kit-2 PXA255 based: Linux 2.6.17
* Kit-3 PXA270 based: Linux 2.6.17 or Windows CE 5.0 or CE 6.0
* Kit-4 PXA320 based: Linux 2.6.17 or Windows CE 6.0
Note that the OS is only normally pre-installed in the TRITON Flash memory when a Development Kit is supplied. When modules only are ordered, the OS is not pre-installed unless ordered as an option.
RedBoot
Modules are always supplied with pre-installed Redboot firmware. Redboot supports several low-level-debugging options and file download via serial XModem or FTP via ethernet. These files can additionally be stored into the permanent flash-memory to be started by command or power-on.
