In an opinion piece for Embedded.com, Green Hills Software CEO Dan O'Dowd has resumed his crusade against embedded Linux -- with a new twist. O'Dowd argues that recent marketing by commercial Linux distro vendors MontaVista and Wind River prove that they agree that embedded Linux is "chaos."

Here’s one for Linux-loving conspiracy theorists: Wal-Mart will stop selling PCs running the Linux operating system in its stores. The retailer started selling Linux PCs last fall, prompting this blog to write that if the PCs proved popular with consumers, businesses might start running the operating system on the PCs that workers use. (While businesses regularly run Linux on servers, the back-office computers that process data, hardly any run Linux on PCs.) Wal-Mart is ditching Linux in stores even though it sold out of the machines, which will doubtless feed the theories of a vocal crowd of Linux fanatics who’re convinced that The Man is conspiring to kill Linux. It’s more likely culprit is Mr. Market: Wal-Mart says that the computers weren’t what its customer were looking for, but that it will continue selling Linux PCs on its Web sit

Linux.com's Joe Barr has an interesting commentary about the recent Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit and the astounding lack of attention for desktop Linux. Now, a great deal of the monetary support driving Linux these days comes from companies with a vested interest in "big iron" but hopefully this won't completely eclipse the rest of the community. "Before I learned that the press was not welcome in any of the working-meetings at the summit on days 2 and 3, I saw and heard rumblings of discontent from more than one ordinary Linux desktop user. One example: a top-ten list of inhibitors to Linux adoption, created by a committee of foundation members, contained nothing at all relating to desktop usage. Nothing. Everything on the list was about back-room usage.

Thomas Petazzoni writes "The fourth edition of Embedded Linux Conference was held from April 15 to 17 in Mountain View, California. With more than fifty talks and tutorials around the use of Linux in embedded devices, this conference covered a wide range of topics: power management, debugging techniques, system size reduction, flash filesystems, embedded distributions, real-time, graphics and video, security, etc. For those who could not attend the conference, Free Electrons has published under a free license videos of nineteen talks and an extensive report of them. You can for example watch Andrew Morton's keynote, Klaas van Gend's talk about the real-time version of the Linux kernel, or Mike Anderson's tutorial on the use of JTAG probes for kernel debugging.

IconHere's an update on the Linux Driver Project. "The Linux Driver Project is alive and well, with over 300 developers wanting to participate, many drivers already written and accepted into the Linux kernel tree, and many more being currently developed. The main problem is a lack of projects. It turns out that there really isn't much hardware that Linux doesn't already support. Almost all new hardware produced is coming with a Linux driver already written by the company, or by the community with help from the company. There are two main classes of hardware, video input devices and wireless network cards, that is not well supported by Linux, but large efforts are already underway to resolve this issue, with the wireless driver issue pretty much taken care of already, however there are a few notable exceptions.

He answers questions on the kind of legal protection Linux requires, whether anything ever come of the Microsoft protest that there's Linux code that they have patented, as well as Linux penetration on desktops and breaking Microsoft's stranglehold on the market. He also discusses Microsoft's recent move to open up their documentation, and why they'd like to work with the Redmond giant — 'We'd like to have a place where developers can come and work on making Linux more effectively interoperate with Microsoft products. And we'd like to do that in the open-source way that's not tied to any specific marketing agreement, that

This paper describes the procedure for porting embedded Linux to PPC based custom boards, which means making the operating system work on unfamiliar hardware. This paper also describes the procedure for setting up the development environment on host PC, obtaining kernel source, configuring the Linux kernel, how to cross compile Linux kernel, and how to load and run linux kernel on PPC based custom boards. The resulting embedded systems are used as application-specific computers that interact with the physical world.
