“Lineo, Inc., a leading developer of embedded Linux system
software, today announced compatibility libraries for VxWorks and
pSOS. Code-named “Golden Gate,” these compatibility libraries
provide OEMs with a way to recompile applications developed on
these platforms to run on Embedix Linux, Lineo’s embedded
software.“
“By using Golden Gate, OEMs preserve the intellectual property
and financial investment made in the development of the application
when the proprietary OS company discontinues development and
support for the operating system. Additionally, by porting
applications to Embedix, customers can take advantage of all the
Linux features, including the significantly lower cost of royalties
because they are no longer running the proprietary operating
system.”
“As RTOS companies’ strategies change and evolve, many OEMs are
concerned about preserving the investments they have made in
developing custom applications around these OSs,” said Bryan
Sparks, CEO of Lineo, Inc. “Lineo is providing alternatives for
customers that don’t want to start over to build a new code base
for the same application and want to take advantage of Linux.”
