Embedded Linux research report ships
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.
