• ASH WARE has simulators for eTPU systems: a stand-alone simulator, and one that simulates both the eTPU and host processor. You can run eTPU_C programs on these simulators and examine and analyze the running program.

• Creative Impulse is a software engineering business in Scotland. They have expert knowledge on the eTPU and other embedded platforms. They emphasize working within your established development processes, including ISO9000 and CMM.

• Freescale's MPC5500 family of PowerPC™ microcontrollers. The MPC5500 have a PowerPC core (built on the successful MPC500 family), Flash capabilities, and 5-volt compatibility.

  The eTPU is an autonomous coprocessor with its own programming and processor core. It is a very capable processor in its own right: though it's specialized for timing and signal processing work, it could easily be applied to almost any computing task.

• Freescale's MCF523x family of ColdFire microcontrollers. The MCF523x devices have a ColdFire core (the successor to the venerable MC68000 series) and numerous peripherals.

  See the Freescale eTPU page for more information.
