FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MontaVista Software to Support Linux-Powered MPC5200 Processor from Motorola

Offering Cost-Effective Systems Solution for Automotive Telematics and Other
Highly Networked Products and Applications

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 22, 2003 ‹MontaVista Software Inc., the company
powering the embedded revolution, today announced that MontaVista³ Linux³
Professional Edition 3.0 (Pro) will support Motorola Inc.¹s (NYSE: MOT)
MPC5200 embedded processor delivering 760 MIPS. This new processor,
announced today, is well suited for automotive telematics, gateways,
Internet-access devices, video detection and processing, industrial control,
and electronic/medical instrumentation, all of which will benefit from its
enhanced I/O, processing power, data throughput and service reliability.

Pro will also support Motorola¹s Lite5200 Evaluation Board (EVB), a compact
development platform for the evaluation and creation of systems based on the
high performance, low power, and low-cost MPC5200 processor. The Lite5200
EVB is ideal for OEMs wanting to develop their own hardware platforms with
the MPC5200.

³The MPC5200 processor has seen great success in the automotive market,²
said Bill Pfaff, vice president and director for Motorola¹s Digital Audio,
Radio & Telematics group. ³Besides extended temperature qualification and
long-term availability that are typical in this industry, new markets can
now enjoy its data transfer and processing power as well. The real-time
functionality, multi-process capabilities and rich networking provided by
the MontaVista Linux Professional Edition make this industry-leading
embedded operating system a perfect complement.²

MontaVista Linux Professional Edition is a complete embedded operating
system and cross development environment. This award-winning product
contains an impressive array of cross-development tools for system and
application development, unparalleled processor and board support, and
hundreds of deployable utilities, libraries, drivers, and other run-time
components.

³We are pleased about our growing relationship with Motorola, one of the
leading producers of embedded processors,² said Judith Wheatley, vice
president, Business Development, MontaVista Software. ³We proudly add the
Motorola MPC5200 processor to the industry-leading array of embedded CPUs
that MontaVista Linux supports. With the combined features of our products,
Motorola and MontaVista Software are together offering, once again, a very
cost effective high quality systems solution.²

About MPC5200
The MPC5200 is a highly integrated 760 MIPS embedded PowerPC processor that
consumes less than 850 milliwatts at 400 MHz. System throughput is enhanced
by a BestComm intelligent DMA unit that significantly offloads the
processor core from routine I/O tasks. The 400 MHz MPC603e core processes
760 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS and is augmented by an on-chip double-precision
Floating Point Unit (FPU). An Integrated Double Data Rate (DDR) memory
controller further boosts data movement and a rich set of I/O makes the
processor suitable for a wide variety of applications.

This industry-leading comprehensive embedded operating system and cross
development environment is MontaVista Software¹s flagship product. It
provides a common source and binary platform across a broad range of
processor architectures. The Professional Edition includes a modern OS
featuring real-time functionality, multi-process capabilities, and
multi-threaded remote debugging, with extensive bundled software components
