Embedded Systems: Linux Update
,----[ Quote ]
| A view of Linux from several perspectives will help embedded-system designers
| better understand how they can use this open-source operating system. Experts
| at Eurotech, Texas Instruments, and Rowebots share their approaches.
|
| "Contrary to what some engineers might think, Linux provides a mature
| operating system," said Arlen Nipper, president and CTO at Eurotech. "You can
| obtain best-in-class security, TCP/IP stacks, and support for wireless
| networking, for example. The associated code drops into Linux and works right
| away."
|
| "Customers can get everything they need; cross-compiler tools ready to run a
| development system, all the linux source code, utilities to run Python,
| embedded Java, or XWindows, and so on," noted Nipper. "So engineers who use
| Linux get a complete software-development system and run-time code at
| essentially no cost."

Linux still top embedded OS
,----[ Quote ]
| In a new whitepaper on Linux in the embedded market, VDC researchers cite the
| following reasons for Linux's popularity:
|
| * Licensing cost advantages
| * Flexibility of source code access
| * General familiarity
| * Maturing ecosystem of applications and tools
| * Growing developer experience with Linux as an embedded OS

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.
