Re: Best low cost uP for full Linux

I actually just had a Freescale rep in yesterday afternoon, and he pointed me at an extremely interesting new widget.  It's the MCF5445x (0 <= x <= 5).  V4 Coldfire chip with an MMU, DDR2 controller, really all sorts of stuff.  I've barely cracked the data*** myself so far, but at first glance it seems to meet your requirements, and was just south of $10/ (at 10Kunit pricing!).

It looks like several of the V4 flavors have MMUs, so if you're extremely lucky some Linux jock may have even gotten the code working for it already..

Thanks Rob, I'll look over the data*** and contact my Freescale FAE
for more info. If these chips are like the '53xx series but with MMU
they might just do the trick.
