LinuxDevices.com: OpenHardware releases MC68EZ328 SBC reference design

[ Thanks to LinuxDevices.com for this link. ]

"OpenHardware.net announces the availability of the design data for a Motorola MC68EZ328 board design which runs the current uClinux (www.uClinux.org) embedded Linux distribution. All design data, including the schematics & PCB GERBER data files needed to reproduce the MPU board and a matching mini-motherboard, are available on the site, as well as a number of photos."

"The design was produced in response to the high cost of obtaining an evaluation board from Motorola. For further details, visit the project's website, at: http://www.openhardware.net/Users/TomW."

"This design is reproducible under a "not for profit" copyright. What this means is quite simple: "if you want to sell, or bundle, my design for profit, I want some of it. If you produce the design to learn how to build 'such a thing' and do not make a profit in conjunction with its distribution, then you are free to do so." This is not the GPL license, but the TPL license (Tom's Public License :^). For further information contact tom@cyberiansoftware.com."
