MilSystem Setup
About the MilSystem
The MilSystem products are intended for users of turn-key embedded systems who require long life-cycle,
configuration controlled computers with MIL-STD-D38999 connectors. MilSystem models each feature one
of three Extreme Rugged™ computer boards: the LittleBoard 735 Single Board Computer (SBC), the
LittleBoard 800 SBC, or the COM 840 (Computer On Module) with the EBX baseboard. The
LittleBoard 735, LittleBoard 800, and the COM 840 are available with varieties of processors and memory.
An optional operating system (OS) can be pre-loaded onto an optional internal storage device (2 ½" hard
drive or Solid State Drive). Board Support Packages (BSPs) are provided on the optional Support Software
DVDs or QuickDrives™ to support additional OSs. Just use a USB memory device to load your application
software and you are ready to use your system.
