ARM, IBM & Friends Form Company to Tidy Up Linux-Linaro
from linux.sys-con.com
ARM, with backing from IBM, Freescale, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and TI, has set up a not-for-profit open source software engineering company called Linaro to bring some order to the Linux operating systems running on the welter of different ARM-based System-on-Chips (SoCs). Evidently a tidy packet worth tens of millions is going into this thing. Well, it is meant put a stick in Wintel’s rounder wheel. The idea is to smooth out the kinks in ARM’s ecosystem, reduce the engineering time spent on non-differentiating, low-level software that touches the silicon, cut time-to-market and improve performance. read more
