NetBSD Ported To SuperH 64-bit SH-5 Processor

djcdplaya writes "Carrying on the tradition of NetBSD's ability to run on pretty much anything short of a toaster, Wasabi Systems has ported NetBSD to the SuperH 64-bit SH-5 processor. Here's a cut and paste job: 'NetBSD is the first commercially available operating system to run on the SH-5 platform. "We're very impressed with the speed of Wasabi's porting efforts," said Jon Frosdick, Director of Software Engineering at SuperH, Inc. Ideally suited for system-on-chip (SOC) designs and embedded applications, the SH-5 provides a feature-rich platform for designers developing set-top boxes, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), game consoles, networking and telephony applications, multimedia appliances and car infotainment systems.'"

*BSD isn't dying. Parts of it have been integrated into nearly every operating system written since. As noted above, it makes up the foundation of the most modern and beautiful operating system ever written.
