LinuxDevices - Device Profile: Drew Tech ScanDAQ

LinuxDevices - Device Profile: Drew Tech ScanDAQ:
"Drew Technologies has used embedded Linux to build what it calls the 'world's first open technology automotive scanning tool.' The ScanDAQ ('data acquisition') is a ruggedized handheld device designed to run J2534-compliant software, enabling mechanics to reflash or modify automotive ECUs (electronic control units). The device could help create third-party and even open source J2534 (defined below) software markets that make today's computerized cars easier to modify and fix."
