Linux phone pioneer acquired (LinuxDevices)
LinuxDevices takes a look
at Wind River's acquisition of Korean firm Mizi Research. "Founded
in 1999, Mizi was among the first wave of companies attempting to
commercialize embedded Linux. From the beginning, the company took an
interest in Linux on handsets, as well as PDAs. It began offering
GPL-licensed Linux BSPs (board support packages) for Samsung system-on-chip
processors targeting smartphones in 2003, and later that year released Mizi
Linux 2.0, a full software stack targeting phones and other mobile
devices. Samsung first experimented with the stack in 2003, and Mizi
collaborated with an unspecified partner in 2004 on a low-cost handset
hardware/software reference design."
