From PR Newswire: Sharp Microelectronics of the
Americas (SMA), a U.S.-based division of Sharp Electronics Corporation,
announced today it has formed a strategic relationship with Lineo, an
innovator in embedded systems, giving System-on-Chip (SoC) design engineers
access to Lineo(TM) Embedix(R) SDK 2.0 development tools. With this
partnership in place, the Linux operating system can be rapidly ported to
Sharp’s highly integrated LH79520 and LH7A400 SoCs, thereby shortening
development time for engineers designing with Linux.
