The uClinux gang disagrees with this assessment,
Another such light-weight embedded C kernel with unmapped ARM support that seems to be popular lately is microC/OS, sometimes called uC/OS or "mucos". My _impression_ is that it is a free open source system but that a number of companies sell support and a number of embedded companies specialize in getting it past validation suites in vertical niche markets, etc.. I think it's been used for digital cameras and such. http://www.accu.org/bookreviews/public/reviews/m/m002257.htm http://www.cmpbooks.com/product/1057 - bruce _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
