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.

Embedded developers and kernel hackers: can they work together?

,----[ Quote ]
| In many ways, Andrew Morton's keynote set the tone for this year's Embedded 
| Linux Conference (ELC) by describing the ways that embedded companies and  
| developers can work with the kernel community in a way that will be "mutually 
| beneficial". Morton provided reasons, from a purely economic standpoint, why 
| it makes sense for companies to get their code into the mainline kernel. He 
| also provided concrete suggestions on how to make that happen. The theme of 
| the conference seemed to be "working with the community" and Morton's speech 
| provided an excellent example of how and why to do just that.

Linux kernel maintainer calls for embedded specialist

| The maintainer of Linux 2.6 has called for a full-time, 
| architecture-independent "embedded maintainer." Speaking at a CELF's fourth 
| annual Embedded Linux Conference, Morton also told embedded developers how to 
| select a kernel, get support from the kernel community, and decide whether to
