For an expanded set of development tools, visit the Solutions directory on Cobalt
Networks’ web site (http://www.cobalt.com/solutions/)
Additionally, the Linux distribution on the RaQ XTR is based on the RedHat
Linux 6.2 distribution for x86-compatible processor systems.
You can run most pre-compiled x86-based commercial software packages on the
RaQ XTR, as long as the software does not require a mouse, keyboard or
monitor. Ensure that the software is compatible with the Linux 2.2 kernel and the
glibc library.
