fragmentation of embedded Linux in the embedded computing segment.
Cygnus introduced the EL/IX Application Programming Interface
(API), an open source, configurable API and development environment
for all pervasive, new computing platforms. EL/IX allows developers
to develop Linux software or embedded software on a desktop PC, and
then deploy this software across embedded devices running Linux or
Cygnus’ eCos, a small, configurable open source operating
system.”
