Ten years after: An Interview with MontaVista's Jim Ready
,----[ Quote ]
| READY: One thing we underestimated was the number of semiconductor engineers
| and partners working on Linux to enable Linux on chips. That happened faster
| and at a larger level than we thought. When we started out building
| MontaVista Linux earlier in the decade, we had to make the assumption that
| Linux may not exist on a given piece of hardware, or that if it was
| available, the kernel version might be four or five rev's back. Beyond that,
| Linux was still somewhat unstable. So we developed a set of requirements and
| industrial processes to produce a commercial quality Linux that could go into
| any device. But now Linux has gotten really deep into the fabric of the chip
| business, and we are now adjusting to that reality with our new MDE approach
| in MontaVista Linux 6.

| 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.
