ESC, San Jose, CA — (press release excerpt) — Red Hat today announced that Samsung has awarded it a million dollar contract to port the Red Hat GNUpro embedded development tools to the Samsung CalmRISC line of low-power processors. Under the terms of this agreement, Red Hat will provide Samsung with a version of its industry-leading open source GNUPro development tool compatible with the extremely low… powered 32-bit and 16-bit CalmRISC line of processors, opening the way for the development of a new generation of ubiquitous consumer devices that are portable and power-efficient.

Red Hat will make its development tools ready for use on the CalmRISC platform by Spring 2001. Under the GPL, Samsung will be able to provide the GNUpro development tools to CalmRISC CPU customers free of charge, and give those customers the option of obtaining technical support from Samsung, or directly from Red Hat.
