| code was "one of the reasons that proprietary RTOSes created in-house for a
| specific system have long been popular, and now it's a primary motivating
| factor in the adoption of Embedded Linux."

| platforms, processors, tools, languages, security, target devices, mobile
| development, and of course, Linux.
