SH-2 microcontroller gains embedded Linux BSP
,----[ Quote ]
| Renesas Technology Corp. and MPC Data Ltd have introduced a uClinux-based
| board support package (BSP) and tool chain for the SH7203, a "high
| performance" Renesas microcontroller with built-in USB, graphics, and other
| system controllers. MPC's uClinux BSP "fully" supports the functions
| implemented on the SH7203's "RSK7203plus" development board, according to the
| companies.

| Phil Buckley, MPC Data's Linux Embedded Business Group Director, added, "With
| the increasing popularity of Linux in embedded applications, and the
| increased performance of embedded microcontrollers, this highly stable,
| tested uClinux BSP gives SH-2A application developers a great starting
| platform to take forward Linux applications into product development and
| production."
