TimeSys Introduces Freescale Linux Component Repository

       TimeSys Introduces Freescale Linux Component Repository;

         Web-based, Continuously Updated Repository Provides
       Commercial Source Enabling Developers to Customize Linux
                for Devices Using Freescale Processors


    FREESCALE TECHNOLOGY FORUM - ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June
22, 2005--TimeSys(R) Corporation, the leading provider of Linux
Customization Solutions for the embedded device market, today
introduced the Freescale Linux Component Repository, a continuously
updated Web-based commercial source for developers customizing Linux
to the exact requirements of embedded devices using Freescale
processors based on PowerPC(R) cores.
    The Freescale Linux Component Repository is a key component of
Linux Customization Solutions from TimeSys, web-based, automated
development, build and validation tools that dramatically reduce the
cost, effort and time required to tailor Linux to the unique feature,
footprint and processor requirements of any embedded device.
    TimeSys continuously maintains and commercially supports the
Freescale Linux Component Repository, freeing developers to focus on
customizing Linux to the unique characteristics of their embedded
device project. The Freescale Linux Component Repository includes:

    --  Continuously updated kernel patches and drivers for a wide
        range of Freescale processors

    --  Updates for supported processor revisions and errata

    --  Linux packages, available in source, as well as pre-built
        binary packages for Freescale processors

    --  Pre-built reference Linux distributions that provide a
        starting point for customizing Linux

    "Linux is rapidly becoming an operating system of choice in new
embedded device designs using Freescale processors, and developers are
looking for enablement tools and technology to aid them in their
efforts to take advantage of the flexibility of Linux," said Dave
Mothersole, Distinguished Technology Fellow and Chief Technology
Officer for Freescale's Networking and Computing Systems Group. "The
Freescale Linux Component Repository is an effective offering for
developers using Freescale processors in embedded device designs."
    The introduction of the Freescale Linux Component Repository
extends the relationship with Freescale that TimeSys announced in
March to continuously make the latest Freescale-developed Linux
optimizations for Freescale products based on the PowerPC architecture
available to developers in commercially supported TimeStorm(R) Linux
Development Kits (LDKs) from TimeSys. TimeSys now supports nearly 30
Freescale processors.
    "The Freescale Linux Component Repository is the latest example of
our commitment to deliver industry-changing solutions that support
developers in their efforts to tailor Linux, rather than forcing them
into a single distribution or a professional services model," said
Michel Genard, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business
Development at TimeSys. "We recognize the wide use of Freescale
processors in embedded device designs, and will continue to deliver
innovative enablement tools and technology for developers choosing
Freescale processors."

    About Linux Customization Solutions for Freescale Processors

    Using Linux Customization Solutions from TimeSys, developers can
shave months off of development schedules while maintaining complete
control over their custom Linux platform. For example, developers can
start with a reference Linux distribution optimized for a specific
Freescale processor, and then tailor that to meet their unique design
requirements using the web-based, secure Freescale Linux Component
Repository and local Eclipse-based development and testing tools. They
can tap into a rich knowledge base and online community of embedded
Linux developers through the Developer Exchange to aid their
development efforts, and use the powerful hosted Embedded Linux
Platform Builder to deliver a commercial-grade custom Linux platform
to their application development teams.

    Availability

    The Freescale Linux Component Repository is available now on a
subscription basis. For more information, visit:
