General information
1.1 Operational description
Sirius DDT TAGBOARD is an industrial computer, with real time capabilities, based on MPC5125; directly
powered at 24Vdc.
The operating system that comes with it is UNIX-LIKE and is based on the linux kernel. The distribution is
an OpenEmbedded / Yocto derivative and allows the management of applications through packets.
Thanks to the Xenomai scheduler, you can create tasks with real-time characteristics entirely in userspace.
Peripherals include two Ethernet devices, three CAN channels and two optocoupled serial ports.
