AXIS 82+ & 83+

Developer Board & Device Server

Deploy your own embedded Linux applications

The AXIS 82+ Developer Board and AXIS 83+ Device Server are intended for the deployment of your own embedded Linux applications. With a sturdy industrial design, the hardware fits most deployment requirements.

Complete ‘ready-to-use’ product

Supplied as a single printed circuit board as the AXIS 82+ Developer Board, or packaged within a durable aluminum casing in the AXIS 83+ Device Server, these otherwise identical products are equipped with external connectors for dual* 100 MBit Ethernet, USB, COM1, COM2, and RS-485 connection. They are also equipped with internal connectors that accommodate one parallel port and an additional serial port.

If your application is successful and you then want to progress to building your own product, Axis also supplies the ETRAX chip for use in your own custom product designs.

Enclosed in a black aluminum casing, the AXIS 83+ Device Server is compliant with immunity, emission and safety standards, and is ready for immediate deployment into industrial and other environmentally hostile environments.

Improve your time to market

The AXIS 83+ Device Server is shipped as a ready-to-use device, which means that you spend no time at all

on hardware development, authority approval testing, purchasing, or programming Ethernet addresses. Once your application is complete, the software is simply flash-loaded to the Device Server Platform, using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). With the AXIS 82+/83+ you are free to completely customize all software, including the Linux kernel.

Axis is committed to open-source development and fully supporting its customers. Advanced technical support is available, as well as open discussion forums to facilitate good communication between the wide range of ETRAX system developers. Reference designs are available upon request.
