Linux - Open Source White Papers

The New Era of Mobile Linux Ubiquity

Overview In the last few years, Linux has progressed from marginal status as a platform for intelligent devices to a position of ubiquity, even dominance, in embedded design. The progress of the open source Operating System (OS) spans the gamut of embedded applications, from communications to consumer electronics to automotive applications to industrial control and even to aerospace and defense. All types of devices today benefit from embedded Linux deployment, but those leading the charge are "Service delivery vehicles" - devices that connect to networks to supply voice, data, navigation, and entertainment content.
