Linux still top embedded OS (LinuxDevices)

[Posted April 24, 2008 by cook]

LinuxDevices reports that Linux is the most widely used operating system for embedded systems. "Linux was used by 18 percent of embedded engineers responding to a survey, making it tops overall among both free and commercial OSes. Additionally, open source operating systems such as eCos, BSD, FreeRTOS, and TinyOS were reportedly used collectively by another five percent of respondents."
