Mr. Kazufumi Nakagami of MIPS Technologies, Inc. said, “As the MIPS32 34K core is supported by widespread Lineo’s embedded Linux, we believe this product promotes and expands development of multithread functions in embedded applications than ever before. The multithread function we released at the beginning of 2006 provides high execution efficiency with low-operating frequency, and nonconventional “programmability” for increasingly functional-and-complex SoC for embedded systems. This ASE (application specific extension) is for all embedded application developers to actualize the differential products from their competitors. The basic architecture is MIPS32, which is widely used for embedded applications and establishing stable development environment by over 200 eco-partners including Lineo. MIPS will actively and continuously engage in Linux and GNU open source community and support embedded application development.”

As Lineo’s embedded Linux has been used as various products’ OS, this development environment adds numerous advantages to the product development, that is multithread function of MIPS’ advanced evaluation board with MIPS32® 34K(TM) core, Malta®. Many of the leading manufacturers have adopted this product and advancing product development already.

Lineo uLinux ELITE BSP CodeSourcery Edition allows the user not only to leverage various tested packages based on the Sourcery G++ of CodeSourcery but also access to support from both Lineo and CodeSourcery.
