Free Embedded Linux For Secure Internet Devices

Posted by timothy on Monday April 28, 2003 @03:58PM from the wait-wasn't-linux-free-before dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices.com is reporting that SnapGear has released a free (as in beer) 'commercial grade' embedded Linux distribution that targets secure Internet-enabled products. The distribution supports a range of processors, both with and without memory management units (MMUs), and includes toolchains and library support. Supported non-MMU processors are said include Motorola ColdFire, ARM, and LEON SPARC, while supported processors having MMUs include Hitachi SuperH, Intel XScale IXP425, Intel x86, and other ARM cores."
