Linux Distribution
The Radarcape operates with Angstrom Embedded Linux, it is using the pure root file system, not a
Cloud9 system. Due to that, you may not see internal disk drives when plugging the USB. We do not
guarantee stability with other Linux distributions than the one it became delivered, as there were already
some issues.
