First Free Linux-Based Development Kit for Intel XScale

Posted by timothy on from the but-can-it-xscale dept.

EmbeddedMan writes "For any potential XScale developers out there, this announcement of a completely free development kit for XScale processors is very interesting. Although I am not using XScale at the moment, I have used the distribution this release will be based on and it is extremely flexible and easy to use. It is good to see that this support will be freely available for everyone to use."

  1. PocketPC Alternative by ConeFish · · Score: 1

    This could be the boost that helps all the coders out there trying to port Linux to the newer XScale PocketPC devices. All the people wanting to run linux on their new PDA's might have their wish now, and not have to buy the 1 or 2 iPaq devices (ARM) that supported it.
