This page collects old version m32r kernels.
The latest version can be download from

The following are Linux kenrels modified for the M32R.
- Supports both UP(Uni-Processor) and SMP(Symmetrical Multi-Processor) environment.
- Supports both with MMU and without MMU environment.
  The 2.6.4 kernel or later also support MMU-less targets such as M32102.
- In the 2.6.9 kernel, the M32R achitecure has been merged into the stock kernel!
  Now, you can download the 2.6.9 kernel or later from
kernel.org and its mirror site.
