| Atmel also sells a low-cost, hardware/software Linux development kit for
| network gateways introduced in 2007. While the Harmony shares many similar
| features with the kit, and likely builds upon Atmel's Linux BSP, the hardware
| layout and several specifications appear to be different (see photo above and

Embedded Linux research report ships

| 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.
