VxWorks to Embedded Linux: a Success Story (Linux Journal)

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."
