Operating System Installation
The standard PC architecture used on the EPM-32 makes the installation and use of most of the
standard x86 processor-based operating systems very simple. The operating systems listed on the
VersaLogic OS Compatibility Chart
use the standard installation procedures provided by the
maker of the OS. Special optimized hardware drivers for a particular operating system, or a link
to the drivers, are available at the EPM-32 Product Support web page at
