    MINNETONKA, Minn., Feb. 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Digi

cost-effective, fully featured Digi JumpStart Kits that
make it easy for design engineers to develop embedded
products with Digi NET+ARM modules.  For an introductory
price of only $399, Digi JumpStart Kits include all the
hardware and software tools necessary for wired and
wireless embedded product development.  With Linux, Windows
CE, and NET+OS options, Digi JumpStart Kits are available
for a wide variety of commercial grade embedded networking
needs.  

    "Digi JumpStart Kits provide features typical of
development kits priced at or above US$2,500," said
Larry Kraft, senior vice president of sales and marketing,
Digi International.  "They really are a tremendous
value for the time-stressed engineer.  The kits allow
programmers to develop 32-bit embedded applications within

    Digi JumpStart Kits support Digi Connect(R) and
ConnectCore(TM) wired and wireless modules and make it easy
to evaluate both ARM and networking technologies for future
products.   Digi ESP, a new Eclipse-based Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) for NET+OS   and Linux, is
included.  Digi will provide ongoing enhancements and
technical support for Digi ESP and the Eclipse framework. 
Windows CE support is also provided for Microsoft Visual
Studio and Platform Builder. 

    "Digi JumpStart Kits are among the first
development kits to offer support for Microsoft's new
Windows Embedded CE 6.0," Kraft added.  "This
