iMedia WRAP Linux

imedia wrap linux iMedia WRAP is a showcase of the larger iMedia Embedded Linux distribution one of the smallest customisable distribution for wrap boards and network appliances which makes installation of WRAP and other i586 based boards easier. The distribution works on WRAP boards and many other boards but the existing packages fits only the router/server appliance target and has been designed to run in restricted disk spaces iMedia Wrap distribution can be installed on Compact Flash storage because all logging is made on special files which basically are a circular memory buffers. Also iMedia Linux features a modified version of ext3 a journaling filesystem which will ensure better handling of filesystem errors and data preserving on compact flashes. Designed to enable to quickly create embedded /mini-itx computing products for network apliances.

Note: iMedia WRAP does not have video output support. All ouput is redirected over Serial Console
On the image distribution the IP address of network card is set to 192.168.0.100

Ready to try iMedia Wrap

Just download the iMedia Wrap and test iMedia Wrap. The distribution is a CDROM image that must be written on a CD and will allow the customisation of the packages that are written into the storage device (Compact Flash or other storage device). Usualy the install program is used to install a master copy on a Compact Flash and then duplicate this install to other compact flashes. Also for the ease of use we provide an image of a 64Mb compact flash card which can be trasfered to a compact flash (or another storage device). To transfer the image you can use dd utility under linux or winimage for windows.
