Notes on Migrating Your Application from the
DA-660/662 to the DA-662A series
Moxa provides a wide portfolio of RISC-based Linux embedded computers for industrial applications, and has
recently developed a new computing platform, the DA-662A series, which is designed to replace the
DA-660/662 computers.

Moxa will phase out the DA-660/662 series in 2016. In this section, we give users some pointers on how to
migrate software originally used on DA-660/662 computers to the newer DA-662A computer.
We cover both the software environment and definition of device nodes (i.e., peripherals). The topics covered
in each of these two categories are listed in the following table:
Software Environment
Definition of Device Nodes (Peripherals)
Tool-Chain
Kernel Version
CF
Gcc
USB
Glibc
$PATH
This section contains notes for migrating from the DA-660/622 to the DA-662A. As above, the differences in the
software environment are the tool-chain, versions of the kernel, Glibc and Gcc, $PATH (environment variable).
The differences in the peripherals are in the Compact Flash card and USB definitions. See Table 2 for details.

Big endian to Little endian
Due to differences in the CPU architecture, the Endian nature (Endianness) of the DA-662A and DA-660/662
are different. The DA-662A series uses Little endian. Therefore, when migrating programs to the DA-662A
series, you must take this fact into account.
