Overview of M88000 Firmware

The firmware for the M88000-based (88K) series of board and system level products has a common genealogy, deriving from the BUG firmware currently used on all Motorola M68000-based CPU modules. The M88000 firmware family provides a high degree of functionality and user friendliness, and yet stresses portability and ease of maintenance. This member of the M88000 firmware family is implemented on the MVME187 RISC Single Board Computer, and is known as the MVME187Bug, or just 187Bug.
