Embedded Linux* -- Making it Great for Everyone

While Linux* has found its way into everything from remote controls to the anti-lock brake systems in luxury cars, developers must typically custom-modify general-purpose distributions for each specific implementation. That approach creates a great deal of opportunity to accelerate time to market, as well as to reduce complexity. This talk surveys some of the existing embedded Linux approaches, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each, and suggests some approaches for improvement.BIO: David Stewart, Intel Engineering Manager, Open Source Technology CenterDavid Stewart is the manager of the Embedded Linux Engineering team within the Open Source Technology Center (OTC), part of the System Software Division of the Software and Services Group (SSG) of Intel Corporation.
