Axel Embedded Linux Kit (XELK for short) provides all the necessary components required to set up the developing environment to:

• build the bootloader (U-Boot)
• build and run Linux operating system on Axel-based systems
• build Linux applications that will run on the target.

The main kit components are:

• hardware platform composed of
  • Axel system-on-module (SOM for short)
  • AxelEVB-Lite plugged on Dacu carrier board
  • 800x480 7" LVDS display
• Development virtual machine containing:
  • Toolchain
  • U-Boot bootloader sources
  • Linux kernel sources
  • Root file systems
• Technical documentation such hardware manuals, mechanical drawings, reference schematics, application notes etc.

The documents related to the software issues help the user to quickly start configuring the bootloader and the operating system, by hiding most of the complexity of the underlying hardware. For more details about Axel hardware characteristics, please refer to the Axel Hardware Manual. An account for the reserved area of DAVE's website is required to access the kit contents.
