Linux in Embedded Applications

Access to the webinar requires registration on PMC-Sierra's website and approval to view this webinar.

What to Expect

Over the past few years, Linux has been established as one of the most important technologies to enter the embedded market. Once described as an exclusive PC architecture operating system, the Linux source code is open and freely available for numerous CPUs including PowerPC, ARM, and MIPS®. The low power, flexibility and scalability features of this increasingly popular software platform make it ideal for multiple applications ranging from hand-held devices and advanced consumer applications to printers and networking infrastructure equipment.

This webinar will provide an overview of Linux and identify key components and qualities to help you design the Linux system for your unique embedded application.

The following topics will be covered:

• Linux Refresher
• Embedded Applications
• Increase in Use of Linux
• Embedded Linux Offerings
• PMC-Sierra Linux Releases
• Benefits of Using Linux
• Development Considerations
• Customizing the System
• Knowledge Resources
• Third-Party Tools
