Linux-ready SoCs add multi-protocol support

,----[ Quote ]
| Freescale Semiconductor announced two 
| Linux-ready system-on-chips based on its 
| PowerPC-driven QorIQ platform. The QorIQ 
| P1012 and dual-core P1021 SoCs are similar 
| to Freescale's QorIQ P1013 and P1022 
| processors, respectively, but add the 
| company's microcode programming QUICC 
| engine, which supports customers using 
| legacy multi-protocol interfaces, says the 
| company.

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.
