Linux is revolutionizing the embedded systems software market. The advantages Linux offers relative to traditional proprietary embedded software solutions are tremendous. These advantages translate to significant savings in total cost of ownership and quicker time to market.
MontaVista Software provides a family of commercial-grade open source Linux software development platforms. As integrated, tested environments, these platforms provide faster time-to-market than in-house roll-your-own Linux deployments. And being based on Linux, they provide application developers with greater control than proprietary solutions.
MontaVista Linux is now in its 5th generation, and includes some of the latest tools and technologies available in the Linux community. While the Professional Edition is the core product targeted toward the general intelligent devices market, MontaVista also offers products optimized for your specific markets or applications.
