Timesys Announces LinuxLink Support for the Freescale MPC8313E Processor

Leverages Recently Released 2.6.28 Linux Kernel
PITTSBURGH--(Business Wire)--
Timesys Corporation (https://linuxlink.timesys.com/3/Home), a premier provider
of embedded Linux software solutions, today announced LinuxLink support for the
Freescale MPC8313E communications processor and its RDB reference board. Taking
full advantage of the Freescale e300`s processing core, LinuxLink for the
MPC8313E leverages a rich set of common features, including Gigabit Ethernet,
High-Speed USB 2.0, and power management.

Subscribers can quickly customize an embedded Linux platform for the MPC8313E
using the award-winning LinuxLink Factory. Factory-built Linux platforms for the
MPC8313E can be based upon either the Freescale-enabled 2.6.23 kernel or the
mainline 2.6.28 Linux kernel. In addition, each Factory built Linux platform
will include a GNU-based cross toolchain, hundreds of application-specific root
filesystem (RFS) package sources and a suite of commonly used open source
development tools, such as GDB, OProfile and mpatrol. Subscribers also will be
provided with technical support and a vast suite of documentation to customize
and test their embedded Linux platform for a given communication application.

"The Freescale MPC8313E RDB provides a powerful suite of communication features,
making it an ideal platform to prototype and evaluate networking applications on
embedded Linux," said Gregory Quiggle, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at
Timesys. "We are excited to enable support for this platform with our
award-winning Factory build system."

For a limited time, developers can obtain free LinuxLink Factory access to
quickly configure, build and evaluate embedded Linux on the MPC8313 by
registering for a Factory TestDrive at
https://linuxlink.timesys.com/factory/factory_feature_benefits_summary.
