VxWorks to Embedded Linux: a Success Story (Linux Journal)
[Posted September 26, 2002 by cook]
Linux Journal has
an article that looks at one school's switch from the
proprietary VxWorks embedded operating system to Linux.
"
The recent introduction of Linux into the embedded sector has been one of
the most exciting changes in the last few years. Based on the open-source
model,
it offers new possibilities to embedded engineers traditionally used to
commercial
operating systems. At our university, EUSS, we train students
to develop embedded products. Until last year, our lectures and lab sessions
were based on a commercial real-time operating system. Now we use Linux, and
this fact has opened our minds and given us possibilities for a future
evolution."
