LINX / News: Recent posts

LINX for Linux has reached the sunsetting process - There are no planned releases, but professional services and support can be offered by Enea on specific request. The latest release of LINX for Linux (2.6.9) can be found at https://linux.enea.com/linx/.

Please note, as an alternative to LINX for Linux, a user space implementation of the LINX protocol on Linux has been developed. The new product is named User-Mode LINX for Linux or umLINX. umLINX is a proprietary product of Enea. For further details on umLINX or other questions, please contact us at https://www.enea.com/linx

LINX for Linux 2.2 is a open source package, containing the LINX kernel module, LINX Ethernet Connection Manager (CM) module, LINX TCP CM module, the LINX library, tools for supervising and for configuring inter-node communication and the LINX Gateway server.

LINX for Linux 2.2.2 is a patch release solving an issue with linx_receive_w_tmo were the timeout is set to zero and a large signal is in the receive queue.

• Updated Ethernet CM protocol (version 3)
• Updated TCP CM protocol (version 3)
• Support for PPC64 and 2.6.23 kernels.

An updated version of Linx for Linux has been released.

New features include a new TCP connection manager and Link Attributes.

Linx 1.4.1 supports Linux kernels from 2.6.9 and up to 2.6.22.

LINX is the next evolutionary step of the traditional Enea OSE Link Handler transparent message passing technology, now brought into the open source world as a cross-platform inter-process communications (IPC) service product. It is ideal for providing the IPC for any distributed system, even with a heterogeneous mix of CPU\u2019s or DSP\u2019s. LINX is suitable for small footprint devices, and scales well to large networks with a large number of network nodes. It features a transparent application-to application connection and reliable delivery communication model. Applications use the same APIs for communicating to other applications regardless of location, either local to the CPU or anywhere in the network. It\u2019s flexible addressing model maps to any network topology, and enables dynamic discovery of that topology at run time. Designed for high availability applications it provides a powerful connection and link supervision framework for maintenance and management of the entire system, from fault management including redundancy support, and discovery/inclusion of new nodes or connected networks.
