Embedded Linux refers to the
use of the Linux operating system in embedded
systems such as cell phones, PDAs, media player
handsets, and other consumer electronics
devices.
In the past an embedded development was mostly
performed using proprietary code written in
assembler. Developers had to write all of the
hardware drivers and interfaces from scratch.
It appeared that the Linux kernel, combined with
a small set of other free software utilities
could be fit into the confines of the limited
hardware space of an embedded device. A typical
installation of embedded Linux takes about 2
megabyte.
Some other embedded OSs are QNX, Windows CE,
Embedded NT, PalmOS.
Embedded Linux has these advantages compared to
other embedded OSes:
Open source
Small footprint (Windows CE takes 21MB compared
to 2MB for Embedded Linux)
No royalty costs
Mature and stable (over ten years of age and
used in many devices)
Well supported
Embedded Linux
Consortium
In San Francisco, California on July
15, 2003 the Embedded Linux Consortium (ELC
http://www.embedded-linux.org/ ), which includes
IBM, Intel, Motorola, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp,
Siemens and Sony, announced a new phase of
standardization activity to prepare
specifications that will help product developers
manage power consumption, design user interfaces
and achieve real time performance for embedded
Linux applications. The standards are to create
a globally accepted platform offering test
suites and branding to enhance the marketability
of conforming products. In 2002, the ELC
introduced the Embedded Linux Consortium
Platform Specification (ELCPS). The target for
the first draft of the ELCPS API was May 2004.
LinuxDevices.com
Founded in November, 1999,
LinuxDevices.com (http://linuxdevices.com/) has
become a highly popular resource for those
seeking the latest news and information relating
to the growing use of Linux within embedded
systems and devices of all kinds. The site
publishes numerous 'quick reference guides' with
information and photos of newly announced
Linux-powered gadgets and devices including PDAs,
mobile phones, robots, gateway/server devices,
consumer electronics, and industrial
applications. It also publishes lists of both
free and commercial embedded Linux distributions
(http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT2760742655.html)
and other related software such as embedded
browsers, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), Java
Virtual Machines (JVMs), and
application-oriented middleware. The site's
guides to Linux PDAs (http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html)
and Linux Smartphones (http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9423084269.html)
are among its most popular pages.
