MontaVista Linux, a version of Linux that has been enhanced to become a fully fledged real-time operating system. The core changes done by MontaVista have been made by Robert M. Love and submitted back to the Linux kernel. Ultimately some of these changes have served as a motivating factor in the development of newer features in the mainstream Linux stable kernel 2.6 series. This Linux distribution is available in three editions: Professional Edition, Carrier Grade Edition and Consumer Electronics Edition. The MontaVista Linux toolkit includes specific code libraries to easily migrate from old designs using the Wind River Systems' VxWorks and the pSOS operating systems.
Montavista have historically had strong connections with PowerPC Linux development, and host a development Linux kernel source tree on source.mvista.com. Today, Montavista Linux powers a large number of Linux based Smartphones and other consumer electronics, as well as larger embedded devices.
MontaVista DevRocket is the first fully functioning embedded Linux development environment to be hosted on a native Windows platform.
For developers that are already well-versed in DevRocket and would appreciate re-using the screen space taken by the in flight help it is an easy process to remove this component from the eclipse perspective. DevRocket will remember this change and will no longer display this feature the next time the application starts up.
With MontaVista DevRocket, the embedded Linux market has been offered a powerful tool that will increase adoption of embedded Linux and will help increase the success of companies that have chosen Linux as their OS of choice.
