Overview
The TRITON Development Kit-2 was until recently our best selling Dev Kit - that honor now goes to the Development Kit-3 based on the Triton-270 PXA270 cpu.

TRITON module support
The Kit-2 uses 2 x 100 pin SAMTEC connectors to mount the TRITON module. The TRITON-UCB and TRITON-ECO therefore must use Kit-1.
Kit-2 is compatable with the TRITON-ETN, -LP and -XXS modules.
Using Compact Flash cards
The TRITON Development Kit-2 supports the use of memory cards ('IDE mode') and WLAN cards ('CF mode'). For info on supported WLAN cards, see TRITON FAQ.
Development
The recommended host consists of:
| ix86 PC |
Linux 2.6 or later |
| cu, minicom |
or any other terminal program |
| tftp |
to upload files to TRITON |
| nfs |
to share files between host and TRITON |
| jffs2 support |
to create Flash ROM images for TRITON |
Programs are developed on the host and then uploaded to the TRITON module using TFTP via the Ethernet connector, or XModem and RS232 - though this is much slower.
Software tools are supplied (see TRITON FAQ: Tool chain)
