The TS-7500 single board computer from Technologic Systems is one of a family of boards based on the Cavium ARM processor.

This computer board can be plugged onto a TS-252 IO-board for external connections.
The IO-pins can be accessed via the two port dioctl server running on the main board (or directly). One server port serves manual access by Telnet, the other one accesses from programs – any programming language with a socket library, remote or local.
