IA240/241 Linux User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The IA240/IA241 embedded computers, which are designed for industrial automation applications,
feature 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual Ethernet ports, 4 digital input channels, 4 digital output
channels, and a PCMCIA cardbus and SD socket. The computers come in a compact, IP30
protected, industrial-strength rugged chassis. The DIN-Rail vertical form factor makes it easy to
install the IA240/241 embedded computers in small cabinets. This space-saving feature also
facilitates easy wiring, and makes the IA240/241 the best choice as front-end embedded
controllers for industrial applications.
In addition to the standard models, the IA240/IA241 also come in wide temperature models. The
IA240-T and IA241-T have an operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C, and are appropriate for
harsh industrial automation environments. The industrial mechanism of the IA240/IA241 design
provides robust, reliable computing. Due to the RISC-based architecture, the IA240/IA241 will not
generate a lot of heat when in use. The high communication performance and fanless design make
the IA240/IA241 ideal for industrial automation environments.
The IA240/241 computers use a Moxa ART 192 Mhz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which
uses a CISC design, the RISC architecture and modern semiconductor technology provide these
embedded computers with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but
without generating a lot of heat. A 16 MB NOR Flash ROM and a 64 MB SDRAM give you
enough memory to install your application software directly on the embedded computer. In
addition, dual LAN ports are built right into the RISC CPU. This network capability, in
combination with the ability to control serial devices, makes the IA240/241 ideal communication
platforms for data acquisition and industrial control applications.
The IA240/241’s pre-installed Linux operating system (OS) provides an open software operating
system for your software program development. Software written for desktop PCs can be easily
ported to the computer with a GNU cross compiler, without needing to modify the source code.
The OS, device drivers (e.g., serial and buzzer control), and your own applications, can all be
stored in the NOR Flash memory.
The IA240/241 Linux Series (referred to here as IA240/241, or as the target computer) consists of
two models: IA241-LX with CardBus, and IA240-LX (which doesn’t support CardBus). Both
models have exactly the same hardware and software features, except for the PCMCIA CardBus
provided by the IA241-LX.
Software Architecture
The Linux operating system that is pre-installed in the IA240/241 follows the standard Linux
architecture, making it easy to accept programs that follow the POSIX standard. Program porting
is done with the GNU Tool Chain provided by Moxa. In addition to Standard POSIX APIs, device
drivers for the USB storage, buzzer and Network controls, and UART are also included in the
Linux OS.

- Step 1 check that you have enough free space 41
- Step 2 type upramdisk to get the free space ram disk to save the package 41
- This embedded computer supports the php option however since the php file is 3 mb it is not installed by default to install it yourself first make sure there is enough free space at least 3 mb on your embedded flash rom 41
- To check that the dev mtdblock3 free space is greater than 3 mb 41
