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."

Not even $3 Windows CE and endless anti-embedded Linux ads could stop adoption
of Linux (see below).
