Terra Soft Solutions' Yellow Dog Linux Ships with Motorola's Sandpoint Evaluation Board for PowerPC Processor Platforms
Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.'s Yellow Dog Linux is shipping with Motorola's Sandpoint evaluation board as part of an enhanced system package for Motorola PowerPC processor-based systems.
"We have enjoyed a relationship with the Terra Soft team for a few years, watching Yellow Dog Linux gain a diverse, professional user base," said Chuck Corley, director of applications engineering for Motorola's Computing Platforms Division. "At this juncture, the inclusion of Yellow Dog Linux with Sandpoint demonstrates Yellow Dog's integrity, our customers' desire to use Linux as a development operating system, and the appropriateness of Yellow Dog Linux as an OS for Motorola's PowerPC processor-based prototype development systems."
The Sandpoint evaluation system demonstrates the capabilities of Motorola PowerPC processors. It is an ideal platform for software development and debug, as well as for hardware development. Enhanced Sandpoint evaluation systems for PowerPC processor-based Linux development are also available, with the Yellow Dog Linux box set from Terra Soft Solutions included.
"We could not be more pleased and proud that Motorola has embraced Yellow Dog Linux in this fashion. The combination of the proven Sandpoint evaluation board with Yellow Dog Linux offers Motorola's customers a comprehensive OS on which to develop and enable seamless host to target code migration. We are confident that many powerful, unique OEM designs will come from this combined offering," stated Kai Staats, co-founder and CEO Terra Soft Solutions.
The Sandpoint evaluation system provides an example that can be used in designing other systems based on implementations of the PowerPC instruction set architecture, and a platform for developing and debugging Linux and other software for these processors and associated bridge chips.
The motherboard inside the Sandpoint evaluation system is an ATX form factor with PCI Mezzanine (PMC) connectors that accept a processor module. Each PMC includes at least 64MByte of SDRAM. 'DINK32' debug monitor software is also provided with the system.
The Valis X3 MPC7457 PMC Module (Part No. PPCDEV-SP3-7457) is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) with the MPC7457 host processor option for the Sandpoint X3 motherboard. This version of the Sandpoint motherboard is preconfigured with Yellow Dog Linux on an included IDE hard disk. Similarly, Unity X4 MPC8245 PMC Module (PPCDEV-SP3-8245) is a pre-configured Linux Sandpoint X3 Motherboard with the MPC8245 processor.
