Our Products

Katalix Systems provide Embedded Linux software development services, specialising in networking and digital TV.

We believe strongly in open source development. In addition to providing consulting and outsourcing services for clients, we also develop our own software, using it to showcase our work and thereby attract new customers. Some of our work has been integrated into the Linux kernel tree..

We develop and maintain the following open source software:-

  • OpenL2TP, which is a complete, open source implementation of Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for Linux. OpenL2TP is able to operate as both a server and a client. It is targetted for use as an enterprise L2TP VPN server or in commercial embedded networking products.

    OpenL2TP is run as a project on SourceForge at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openl2tp. Its project website is http://opensource.katalix.com/openl2tp.

    Commercial licenses are available which allow OpenL2TP to be used unrestricted in closed source products. For more details about OpenL2TP, please contact sales@katalix.com.

  • LibI2C, which is a userspace library for exchanging I2C data with devices using the Linux kernel's raw I2C support. This enables I2C devices to be read/written from userspace using a simple C API that takes care of the interactions with the kernel. The library includes several test applications which may be used to send/receive arbitrary I2C messages from the shell prompt.

    LibI2C's project site is http://opensource.katalix.com/libi2c.
