More than half of embedded developers now use a third-party operating system, and many of them are trying Linux for the first time. Embedded Linux is suitable for a host of general purpose applications. From handsets to consumer electronics, and even industrial applications, Linux may be the way to go. But there are a lot of things a developer should know about this operating system. Knowledgeable developers will set the record straight on how to fit about Linux in embedded systems.
Ron Wilson, Content Director, UBM Electronics and Jim Turley, Principal Analyst, Silicon Insider served as the virtual conference's co-chairs.
Bill Lamie, Co-Founder and CEO, Express Logic, Inc. presented the keynote presentation "Embedded Linux and the Traditional RTOS - Friends at Last."
Sessions in the technical program include Matching the Right Embedded Linux to Your Design Requirements; Reliability and Security versus Embedded Linux: What to Know Before You Go; and Real-Time Linux: Oxymoron or Opportunity?. The program was supported by a "Content Pavilion" on the show floor, housing a rich compendium of available content and resources from UBM Electronics and the platinum and gold event sponsors, including archived webinars, technical papers, design articles and teardowns.
The event includes an Auditorium and Exhibit Hall with booths from platinum sponsor Wind River; gold sponsor Montavista; and silver sponsors Express Logic and Mentor Graphics.
