Subject: [UCLINUX] announcement for uClinux-180199

                This is the announcement for uClinux-180199

What is it - Embedded systems Linux - PDA, appliances, controllers, toasters...

  uClinux is a port of Linux 2.0 to machines without an MMU.  Specifically,
  Motorola 68k microcontrollers used in embedded control and PDA applications
  such as the 3Com Palm device.  A small 30 pin SIMM module with ethernet is
  in development that will allow people to use uClinux in their own projects.

  This is a major release. uClinux is considered stable and is useful for
  production systems.  The compiler, libraries and kernel are all stable.
  Full networking (PPP, SLIP, httpd, telnetd and ping) is included.  Frame
  buffer device support with example code for the PalmPilot LCD is provided.

  This is a call to embedded system developers and people interested in
  running Free Software on a PDA to write userland apps for uClinux.
  A set of replacement apps for the Palm PDA would be ideal.

  The main uClinux page is at http://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/uClinux
  A ROM image that will run in XCopilot-0.6.6 is available from there
  so people can try it out without having to set up a build environment.

Happy Hacking, the uClinux team.
