Linux in the embedded market -- status and trends

[mdlbear]

Here are two articles at LinuxDevices.com, discussing the recent CMP survey (June) and their own survey (May). The first shows Linux adoption declining slightly, the second shows it leveling off but still increasing. As they say, "The divergence between CMP's and LinuxDevices.com's results likely reflect biases built into each survey's respondent pools."

Both surveys show Linux to be by far the most popular embedded OS, with somewhere between 28% (CMP) and 47% (LD) of design-ins. The increasing use of Linux in cell phones isn't going to hurt its numbers, either.
