Subject: uClinux / uCsimm now ready...

July 5, 1999
For immediate release:

            The Microcontroller Linux Project 

The uClinux (pronounced you see Linux) project has reached another 
milestone.  We have completed the testing of the uCsimm.
uCsimm is a 30 pin SIMM module (3.5 x 1 inch) with a Motorola
DragonBall processor, 2Megs of FLASH, 8Megs of DRAM and 
10baseT Ethernet.  It can drive a QVGA LCD display directly.
Of course, it runs uClinux.  Embedded Linux for almost any 
device is now cost effective and simple to design in.
Turnkey in fact.  Just as Linus Torvalds predicted, Linux
targeted for embedded systems is now a reality.

The final module design is at the board house, and we are now
taking orders for the first run.  Packages are available that
allow an engineer or hacker to prototype with the module.
Right out of the box, it will serve web pages!  We are hoping
to begin shipping modules in about 5 weeks.

OEMs looking to add intranet/internet connectivity and/or
Ethernet to an existing or new product will find this module
to be a perfect fit for products from internet toasters to
internet Nanny cams to industrial robotics controllers and
PLCs.

an order for the first run, visit the commercial side of the
