“Well, I am here at the Embedded Systems Conference in Downtown
San Francisco in the South Hall of the Moscone Convention Center. I
decided to spend the day walking around see who was showing off
PowerPC systems running Linux. So here is a quick summary of what I
found.”
“During my travels I came upon Cort Dougan, the PPC/Linux
community tree maintainer! (He works for FSM Labs who do RT Linux.)
We had a good chat about how things happen in the open source, how
things are going etc. It was nice to talk with him in person
instead of over irc where expression can sometimes get lost.”
“The first booth that I cam upon was of course MontaVista
Software (the company I work for). We just announced our Hard Hat
Linux 2.0 software which is running on a few of the machines. The
MontaVista Software booth (Booth 122) only had one PowerPC platform
on display. An Embedded Planet – Linux Planet. This was using Hard
Hat Linux Cross Development Kit 1.2 featuring IBM OTI Java.”
