Avnet Launches MicroBlaze Processor Linux Design Solution

Avnet Inc. has released its Xilinx MicroBlaze Processor Linux DVD, MicroBlaze Processor Linux Starter Kit and the launch of the Linux for MicroBlaze Processor SpeedWay Design Workshop. The stand-alone Linux for MicroBlaze Processor DVD is based on both PetaLogix Petalinux and LynuxWorks BlueCAT Linux distribution and tool chains. The DVD demonstrates how to port Linux into a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design using the 32-bit Xilinx MicroBlaze processor. It also highlights the benefits and tradeoffs when using the Memory Management Unit (MMU) in the MicroBlaze processor. The MMU enables designers to use commercial-grade operating systems when implementing their embedded designs with Xilinx FPGAs. The MicroBlaze Processor Linux Starter Kit includes the Linux for MicroBlaze Processor DVD, the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit - Spar

Kernel Devs Publish Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules

We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness, stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux community. Vendors that provide closed-source kernel modules force their customers to give up key Linux advantages or choose new vendors. Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost savings and shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors to adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source kernel code.

AMD's New Card Supports Linux From the Get-Go

Michael writes "Back in September AMD had announced a new ATI Linux driver as well as opening up their GPU specifications, and today they have taken an additional step to better support the Linux OS. With the just-announced Radeon HD 4850 RV770 they have provided same-day Linux support, and the Linux driver is now shipping alongside the Windows driver on their product CDs. In addition, they are encouraging their AIB partners to showcase Tux on the product packaging as a sign of Linux support. Last but certainly not least, AMD is committed from top-to-bottom product support on Linux and they will be introducing high-end features in their Linux driver such as MultiGPU CrossFire technology. Phoronix has a run-down on AMD's evolutionary leap in Linux support along with information on the open-source support for the RV770 GPU.

Videos and Report From Embedded Linux Conference

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.

Linux platform for mobile internet devices

Wind River is collaborating with Intel to accelerate the Mobile Internet Device (MID) market segment. Wind River, with support from Intel, will develop an open, extensible Moblin-based Linux platform for the MID market. Furthermore, Wind River will introduce a commercial Moblin-based Linux platform specifically optimized for the Intel Centrino Atom processor technology based MIDs. Wind River Linux Platform for Mobile Internet Devices will be a full-featured, commercial-grade Linux platform that will include a Linux distribution, middleware, and mobile applications targeted to deliver rich Internet and media experiences. As part of this effort, Wind River will participate in and contribute code to Moblin.org, an open source community project where Moblin-based technologies are developed.

Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum Joins Forces with LiMo

To support and to unify the growing momentum of Linux platforms in the global mobile market, the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum announced that its activities and membership will be folded into LiMo Foundation as of July, 2008.

Windows-Linux Integration

"The use of Linux is no longer the sole preserve of IT administrators and tech-savvy computer users. Linux can now easily be incorporated into your environment without even having to go through the hassle of re-partitioning a disk. My previous article on VMWare illustrates that Linux is now pretty much a tool for everyone to use. However, one argument often made against the use of Linux is the difficulty of managing it. For instance, can you easily store and retrieve files on a Linux machine? Also, what about the problem of just interacting with and running the Linux machine? Isn't keeping up to date with Linux security patches a big problem? These are all good questions that I answer in the remainder of this article.

HP makes another contribution to Linux community

Continuing its efforts to advance customer adoption of Linux, HP has announced the contribution of its Tru64 UNIX Advanced File System (AdvFS) source code to the open source community. The AdvFS source code includes capabilities that increase uptime, enhance security and help ensure maximum performance of Linux file systems. HP will contribute the code as a reference implementation of an enterprise Linux file system under the terms of General Public License Version 2 for compatibility with the Linux kernel, as well as provide design documentation, test suites and engineering resources. The source code serves as a rich technology base to advance ongoing development of Linux by providing a comprehensive foundation for Linux kernel developers to leverage and improve Linux file system functionality.

Rumors Of A Nokia Linux Cellphone Are A Bit Of A Leap

A couple of sites have picked up on a Reuters story titled “Nokia (NYSE: NOK) eyes wider usage of Linux in cellphones”—I reckon this is a sub-editing mistake, since the article only loosely links Nokia mobile phones with the Linux operating system. There’s quotes from two Nokia people, but both appear to be about Nokia’s Linux-based Internet Tablet range rather than an expansion into mobile phones. A Nokia spokesperson told MocoNews: “At this point, Linux is only being used on the tablet (non-cellular) products, and Nokia has not announced any cellular products with the Linux-based platforms...Nokia also doesn’t comment on products it hasn’t announced yet.” That doesn’t mean Nokia will never have a Linux-based handset, but it’s likely to only produce them when there’s a demand rather than champion the OS.

Linux experiences 'prolific' growth, says Linux Foundation's Zemlin

The Linux Foundation is now a year old. Formed by the 2007 merger of Open Source Development Labs and the Free Standards Group and home to Linux's creator Linus Torvalds, the Foundation promotes the use of Linux through support for kernel development; the development of common definitions, standards and best practices; and resolution of legal issues. At Red Hat Summit, SearchEnterpriseLinux.com got a chance to speak with Jim Zemlin, the executive director of the Linux Foundation, in Boston and got the latest on all things Linux. Here's what he had to say.

Linux gains "embedded" maintainers

Andrew Morton finally has his wish -- times two -- as there are now two official "Embedded Linux" maintainers listed in the Linux kernel "Maintainers" file. David Woodhouse and Paul Gortmaker have volunteered to act as embedded Linux maintainers, and there is now a linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org list.

Embedded Linux gets maintainers and a mailing list

A new mailing list, linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org has been created to discuss kernel issues that are embedded-specific. In addition, Paul Gortmaker and David Woodhouse have stepped up as the official kernel embedded maintainers. In that role, they will try to ensure that embedded concerns are kept firmly in mind as kernel features are added. Both of these ideas came more or less directly out of Andrew Morton's Embedded Linux Conference keynote and the questions afterward.
