Tips and techniques for improving embedded Linux startup time – Christopher Hallinan, Author, Embedded Linux Primer; Field Applications Engineer
, MontaVista Software and Sridharan Subramanian, Software and Platforms Product Management Lead, Freescale Semiconductor
The requirement for 'instant-on' capability in consumer electronics, ranging from cellphones to mobile internet devices to automotive platforms, has become a necessity. Customers' expectations for instant data or multimedia access has been increasing with trendy gadgets being released in the market. With the proliferation of Linux in these devices, it becomes essential to optimize the boot up time to meet the requirements. A typical Linux embedded system contains a bootloader and kernel, both of which are typically configured with many useful default features. This webinar examines techniques to reduce boot time while preserving the base functionality required of typically configured embedded Linux systems. (60 minutes)

Multicore 101: Migrating Embedded Applications to a Multicore Environment with Linux – Brad Dixon, Director of Product Management, MontaVista Software and Ian Forsyth, Senior Enablement Architect, Freescale Semiconductor
MontaVista Software, Freescale Semiconductor, and TechOnline present this educational webinar to help answer the number one question embedded systems engineers have when transitioning to a multicore environment: "How do I leverage the work I’ve already done in my applications?" Attendees to this event will better understand how to develop for multicore processors by taking advantage of the millions of lines of single-threaded legacy code they already have. Presenters will discuss the benefits of embedded Linux as a solution for multicore development, and will help systems engineers evaluate what is important as they make the transition to multicore. The seminar will conclude with an overview of MontaVista TestDrive, which provides a virtual evaluation of MontaVista Linux on the Freescale QorIQ P4080 and MPC8641D Power Architecture processors. (65 minutes)
