Analysis: How to get Linux to boot in one second
,----[ Quote ]
| MontaVista Software has always been a
| leader in embedded-Linux
| commercialization. The company has
| developed Linux-development platforms
| since 1999, when founder Jim Ready pledged
| to bring "100% pure Linux" to the world
| under the GNU (GNU's not Unix) GPL
| (general public license). Since then,
| MontaVista has specialized in embedded and
| real-time Linux.
|
| Its approach is not simply an RTOS (real-
| time operating system) that runs Linux as
| one of its tasks. The company has changed
| the Linux kernel to provide determinism
| and real-time performance in a real Linux
| operating system. Cavium Networks recently
| acquired the company, which just announced
| the release of Version 6 of its operating
| system.

Hypervisor supports Linux guests
,----[ Quote ]
| Enea announced a multi-core-focused "Enea
| Hypervisor," which is based on its OSE
| real-time operating system, but supports
| Linux clients via its Linx inter-process
| communication protocol. Meanwhile, Enea
| announced that its Android Competence
| Center has been chosen by mobile anti-
| malware firm Fatskunk to develop an
| Android proof of concept.
|
| [...]
|
| The Enea Hypervisor is based on Enea's
| telecom-oriented OSE micro kernel real-
| time operating system (RTOS), and can run
| Enea OSE applications at native processor
| speeds without compromising real-time
| critical properties, claims Enea. Yet, the
| Hypervisor can also accept Linux as a
| guest OS, says the company.

AE Linux Is Available on Cinnamon Bay SBC Featuring Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processors
,----[ Quote ]
| Embedded World (Germany) -- Arium (Tustin,
| CA) and ADI Engineering (Charlottesville, VA)
| today announced at the Embedded World
| Conference that Arium's AE Linux has been
| ported onto ADI Engineering's Intel Atom-
| based Cinnamon Bay Single Board Computer
| (SBC) platform. Arium's AE Linux distribution
| is targeted for headless designs requiring a
| small file system and kernel footprint. The
| Cinnamon Bay platform is targeted at OEMs and
| embedded device developers who desire high-
| performance, highly-integrated computing
| platforms where they can directly boot AE
| Linux from a microSD card, making for a very
| compact and low-cost solution.

0 to Linux in 1 second
,----[ Quote ]
| Impressed by the 7 second boot time of Chrome
| OS? Then this will blow you away!
|
| The great thing about Linux is that due to
| its open source nature, it can be pushed to
| further limits than a closed source OS. It
| can be designed to work with extremely
| constrained resources, and its modular nature
| means that you can get away with removing a
| lot of features without affecting its
| working. It can be pushed to work in mere
| kilobytes of RAM, or on computers of a mere
| 20MHz, and now it has been shown to boot in
| under a second.
