Chennai, India-based E-con Systems announced a baseboard for its SODIMM-sized, Marvell PXA270-based processor module.

The baseboard adds an LCD touchscreen, USB, serial ports, SDIO slot, and camera interfaces to the company's Linux-ready eSOM270 module, available in volume for about $75.

Kernel patches supporting three new Feroceon-architecture system-on-chip (SoC) families from Marvell have been merged into the mainline Linux 2.6.27 kernel.

The patches cover the low-power, dual- and single-core MV7x SoCs, as well as Marvell's Kirkwood (88F6000) SoC and upcoming Loki (88RC8480) SoC.

Technologic Systems has upgraded the firmware for its quick-booting single-board computer (SBC) to make it boot even quicker.

Equipped with a Marvell 500Mhz ARM9 CPU running Debian Sarge, the TS-7800 can boot Linux 2.6.21 from NAND flash in 0.69 seconds, claims Technologic.

The forthcoming release of Linux 2.6.27 will extend the mainline kernel's support for Marvell's embedded storage processors.

The release will add basic support for Marvell's Loki (88RC8480), a system-on-chip (SoC) processor integrating a 400MHz-1GHz Feroceon core with a mix of on-chip peripheral interfaces aimed at storage and networking.
