Renesas Technology Europe and its Platinum Alliance Partner MPC Data Limited have announced the availability of a Linux Board Support Package (BSP) for the popular SH7712 Renesas 32-bit SuperH® microprocessor. The Linux BSP is targeted for the development platform MS7712SE01 that provides an excellent basis for engineers to design new products, shorten their development time and get products to market faster.
The Linux BSP is based on the SH3-DSP Linux 2.6 OS kernel and includes drivers for key peripherals including Dual 10/100 Ethernet, serial ports, PCMCIA/ATA driver and three timer channels. To assist development further, the BSP also contains a Filesystem, Busybox, a DHCP Client and NFS.
The MS7712SE01 development board and SH7712 Linux BSP are available now from MPC Data.
Renesas’ SH7712 MPU is based on a modern 200MHz SH3-DSP CPU core with cache, XY-RAM, double-ethernet with dedicated DMA support and a bridge, as well as several other peripherals and JTAG debug. It is particularly suited to industrial, office automation and network applications such as factory automation gateways, network cameras, IP faxes, network printers, home gateway servers and security equipment.
