Linux For Space Constrained Small Embedded Devices

,----[ Quote ]
| A considerable segment of embedded systems 
| are often found in mass-market products 
| and are therefore subjected to hard 
| economic constraints. The basic nature of 
| these systems mandates further constraints 
| on physical size and power consumption. 
| These in turn give rise to resource 
| constraints on the computing platform 
| level, e.g., constraints on computing 
| speed, memory size, and communication 
| bandwidth etc. In spite of the rapid 
| development of computer hardware these 
| constraints are true due to the economic 
| overheads. In most cases it is not 
| economically justified to use a processor 
| with more capacity due to the overall 
| productâs cost limits.

ARM chippies cooperate on Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's Fedora has an ARM version, but 
| it is not commercialized (yet) as 
| Enterprise Linux, and Maemo, Movial 
| Thundersoft do ARM-based Linuxes too. And 
| there are already a plethora of Linuxes 
| for sundry "liliputers," as someone has 
| cleverly called them, including Android, 
| LiMo, MeeGo, and webOS. And lest we 
| forget, Windows is also trying to muscle 
| its way into here and Apple has iPhone OS, 
| a derivative of its Mac OS (itself a 
| variant of Unix).

Top 10 drivers for embedded Android

,----[ Quote ]
| Business requirements, especially in the
| context of technology available under an
| open-source license, can be compelling for
| both technology managers and corporate
| executives. This list is not meant to
| reflect all Android drivers but certainly
| some compelling reasons for choosing
| embedded Android.
