Service keeps PowerQUICC developers up to date
A new LinuxLink subscription aids embedded Linux developers creating their own commercial-grade custom Linux platform for devices based on the MPC8548E PowerQUICC III communications processor.
LinuxLink is the first commercial offering to support the majority of embedded developers who build and assemble their own commercial-grade custom Linux platform by delivering on-demand access to continuously updated processor-optimised Linux and components, a rich development environment and community support.
This is a significant departure from commercial Linux vendors that dictate feature sets and release schedules, resulting in platforms that diverge significantly from the Open Source community.
Developers can use the free LinuxLink evaluation subscription to build a uClibc root file system (RFS), boot the Linux kernel with their newly created RFS, download a source or binary package and add it to their RFS, build a flash file system and reuse their new RFS in a variety of formats.
"TimeSys customers have told us that they frequently use Pentium-class processors to model their project or experiment with new Linux technologies", said Larry Weidman, president and CEO of TimeSys.
"With the full-featured 14-day LinuxLink evaluation subscription, any embedded developer can quickly experience first-hand how LinuxLink can aid efforts targeting any processor".
Each free 14-day LinuxLink evaluation subscription for Pentium-class processors includes: complete Pentium-class reference Linux distribution; Pentium-class processor-optimised cross development environment; alerts to processor, patch and software component updates; Developer Exchange access to online, interactive support; and a hands-on guide to installing and experimenting with the evaluation subscription.
The free 14-day LinuxLink evaluation subscription for Pentium-class processors can be immediately activated on the TimeSys website Developers will have the option to extend their 14-day subscription by choosing among a range of flexible LinuxLink subscriptions available from TimeSys.
