SerialTek Adds Linux Support for BusXpert and BusMod SAS and SATA Protocol Development Tools

"We designed the BusXpert and BusMod to be portable from the start and we're proud to be the only analyzer/error injector in the market to deliver Linux support," said Dale Smith, President/CTO of SerialTek. "Many Linux users will greatly appreciate not having to maintain separate Windows systems for their test tools."

The Linux versions of the BusXpert SAS/SATA Analyzer software feature the same easy to use GUI, speedy capture and display, and powerful triggering / filtering / searching capabilities as its Windows counterpart. The recently announced BusMod SAS/SATA Error Injector capabilities like generating link errors such as 8b10b and CRC mismatch, adding and removing DWORDS to a frame, and modifying frame contents are now also made available to SAS and SATA developers working in a Linux environment. The automated programming interface (API) is also available for Linux environments, perfect for those who automate testing.

The BusXpert SAS/SATA Analyzer software and BusMod SAS/SATA Error Injector software are currently compatible with Linux versions: Fedora 12, Ubuntu 9.10, and RedHat / CentOS 5.4. They are available on the SerialTek website in RPM, DEB, and tar.gz formats.
