The Embedded Market Beds Down with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Note that this very positive assessement
| comes not from some open source fanboy (like
| me), but from a semiconductor company that
| has just plunked down $50 million on its
| bet. Against that background, there seems
| little doubt that Linux will soon become the
| de facto standard in the world of embedded
| systems.

How would I cash out?
,----[ Quote ]
| After completing my education in 2000, I
| started working for Carnegie Mellon School
| of Computer Science, part of the Robotics
| Institute. There on a daily basis I would
| meet interesting people and robots big and
| small while making office calls. I noticed
| that, by and large, the operating system
| choice for a robot was Linux. Why? You can
| support a wider variety of small hardware
| that requires limited or no cooling with
| Linux. Also, you can craft a device very
| affordable without having to contact a
| company to license it. What you do with your
| hardware is your own business when you use
| the Linux kernel and free software.

Tiny SBC builds on Cortex-A8 SoC
,----[ Quote ]
| Gumstix launched a tiny fourth-generation version of its open-source,
| gumstick-shaped SBC (single-board computer). The Linux-based Overo Earth
| measures 17 x 58 x 4.2mm, 40 percent smaller than the earlier Verdex, and it
| has switched to the ARM Cortex-A8-based Texas Instruments (TI) OMAP 3503
| system-on-chip (SoC).
