Amino creates 'Littlest Linux'

Tiny system is designed to operate on television set-top boxes
connected to Net
Cambridge technology firm Amino Communications has developed what it
claims is world's smallest ever Linux system, optimised to function in
Internet enabled set-top boxes, Web phones and other embedded devices.
The Linux OS is fully contained on a tiny printed circuit board (PCB)
measuring just 49mm by 98mm. It is ideally suited to powering a range
of embedded technologies, although it has been specifically designed by
Amino to run set-top television boxes for connecting to the Net. Amino
is currently looking for manufacturers to help bring a Linux set top
box to market.
In combination with Tao's ELATE Java virtual processor environment,
Amino's Linux system offers realistic graphical performance in compact
network devices.
An Amino spokeswoman says that although this Linux solution is
currently being used to power set-top boxes, the applications and the
operating system used are not fixed. "The technology could be applied
in many different environments," she says. "The way that Amino designs
products means that you could put any OS you like onto any system. It's
very, very flexible and you can bolt on whatever you like."
Amino is one of the innovative start-up companies proliferating
Cambridge's current hot-bed of technological activity, "Silicon Fen".
The company's technological expertise lies in its patent-pending IntAct
"pre-engineered module" technology. These pre-configured software
modules allow for accelerated engineering and Amino estimates that this
can mean up to a 70 percent reduction in the time it takes to get a
product to market.
