“Embedded systems once again steal the limelight as more
companies team up to use Open Source-like development models to
mine this new market vein.”
“One of the players in this up-and-coming sport is QNX Software
Systems, a provider of real-time operating system (OS) technology.
QNX operates with a “microkernel” development model that reveals
most of the OS’s code openly to developers but retains a small
percentage of truly key components to its own licensing
system.”
“QNX is teaming with 3Com and Hitachi Semiconductor, working
with each company’s appliance or embedded device divisions to
develop platforms that will support their products’
architecture.”
