The session, entitled, "The Perfect Storm: How Linux and Eclipse are Revolutionizing Embedded Software Development," will focus on how two Open Source technologies are revolutionizing embedded systems software development. The development of embedded software has shifted rapidly over the last few years from proprietary closed-source based tools and operating systems to technologies based on Open Source, most notably Linux and Eclipse. This seminar examines the reasons behind such a revolutionary change, and the dramatic gains in developer efficiency gained by moving to the Linux operating system and Eclipse-based development environments. The current capabilities of Linux as an embedded OS will be described, with a special emphasis on Linux's real-time capabilities. The capability of Eclipse-based development tools for Linux will also be covered with a special discussion on the latest in Linux run-time analysis tools, such as memory leak detection and performance profiling. |
