Anyone using RTEMS on Motorola ColdFire (e.g. MCF5272)?

[Ian Caddy]

Hi Andrew,

We use the Coldfire 5307 in our products.  We are currently using the 
4.5.0 release of RTEMS.  Once we have the products completed, then we 
will look at upgrading to the snapshots.

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to contact us.

regards,

Ian Caddy
