ARMADA™ 168 Features
The gplugD is powered by the high-performance, low-power ARMADA 168 Applications Processor
that integrates a comprehensive set of peripherals for smart, interactive products. Flexible hardware
interfaces support a wide range of memory and I/O standards, and permit system designers to fine-
tune individual subsystems for cost and performance. Features of the ARMADA 168 include:
̈

Operating System Support
The gplugD ships with Debian Linux 5.0 which is based on the Linux 2.6.29 kernel. While not yet
released, the next version of Debian Linux presumably will be version 6.0. A kernel and root file
system for that can be installed on the gplugD and will be available for download at some point in the
future. The gplugD also supports Android, with a port of version 2.2 currently in development.
