Yocto-Compliant Enea Linux Reaches Version 2.0 (Linux.com)

[Posted October 3, 2012 by corbet]

Linux.com has a quick look at Enea Linux 2.0, an embedded distribution based on Yocto. "Enea's Light-Weight Runtime Threads (LWRT) technology, for instance, offers improved real-time characteristics in Linux user-space, delivering scheduling, message passing, and resource management functionality. The result is that applications can run with improved determinism and minimal overhead, thus addressing some commonly held concerns about traditional Linux solutions."
