Embedded Linux
- Why Linux won the embedded market?
One story not told often enough involves Linux’ growing domination of the embedded market.
In this space Linux usually stacks up against older Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS). The decision by Wind River, the largest RTOS vendor, to migrate toward Linux was a turning point.
There has been no turning back. But this is not an open source story. In fact, the embedded Linux business looks a lot like the rest of the embedded market.
- Wind River reports strong quarter
Wind River reports its Linux earnings grew 41 percent since last quarter, reaching $8 million, or about nine percent of the company's $87.9 million quarterly revenues. Linux bookings, meanwhile, were up 143 percent year-over-year, and reportedly include deals with two Korean handset manufacturers to make LiMo-compliant Linux phones.
