Embedded developers and kernel hackers: can they work together?
,----[ Quote ]
| In many ways, Andrew Morton's keynote set the tone for this year's Embedded
| Linux Conference (ELC) by describing the ways that embedded companies and
| developers can work with the kernel community in a way that will be "mutually
| beneficial". Morton provided reasons, from a purely economic standpoint, why
| it makes sense for companies to get their code into the mainline kernel. He
| also provided concrete suggestions on how to make that happen. The theme of
| the conference seemed to be "working with the community" and Morton's speech
| provided an excellent example of how and why to do just that.

Embedded Linux research report ships
,----[ Quote ]
| EDC noted that some 40 percent of the survey's 500 respondents were targeting
| embedded Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| Also in the earlier reports, Andrews observed that the need for RTOS source
| 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."
|
| The now completed survey results are said to include "expert analysis" from
| Ann Thryft, a 20-year industry veteran. The report includes chapters on
| platforms, processors, tools, languages, security, target devices, mobile
| development, and of course, Linux.

Linux kernel maintainer calls for embedded specialist
,----[ Quote ]
| The maintainer of Linux 2.6 has called for a full-time,
| architecture-independent "embedded maintainer." Speaking at a CELF's fourth
| annual Embedded Linux Conference, Morton also told embedded developers how to
| select a kernel, get support from the kernel community, and decide whether to
| submit code to mainline.
