Video: ST - How Linux is changing the cost model for embedded design

ST on Linux at EW Live.jpgCheck out this update to the site: Andy Lunness of STMicroelectronics gives a presentation at Electronics Weekly Live on the costs, as well as benefits, of Linux for embedded design.

Some important bullet points:

* Free means Free to use - not commercially without cost
* The Linux cost model removes up-front costs, but increases development costs
* Development costs are generally higher
* You get a lot of functionality, but it doesn't come for free
* Linux has become a trusted alternative to a commercial RTOS in the embedded space

You can download the PowerPoint slides alongside the video.

Hans Juergen Rauscher
Hans Juergen RauscherHans Juergen Rauscher is one of Wind River's most experienced Systems Architects. Based in the 'Munich' office in Ismaning, he joined Wind River in 2000 to work with some of the best-known telecoms and networking brands in the world, helping to integrate Wind River Linux for Carrier Grade applications, his main area of expertise within Open Source. 'HJ', as he is inevitably called by his English colleagues, is a keen writer and an avid motorsports addict - as anyone who's survived being driven by him will attest to.

Richard Danter
Richard DanterRichard, of Wind River, has been in the embedded software industry since leaving University in 1994. He worked at a major electronics manufacturer developing set-top boxes for Digital Satellites, focusing on Board Support Packages and Device Drivers for the pSOS+ Real-Time OS. He joined EST Corp, a JTAG tools company in 1999, before it was acquired by Wind River. He now participates in presenting Wind River Linux training courses.

One of Richard's main claims to fame is a series of U-Boot ports to various boards. Richard has used and explored Linux since 1996. He lives on the south coast. Besides 'anything Linux', Richard lists photography among his interests and took the self-portrait you see here!

Mark Day
Mark DayMark Day is Wind River's youngest Technical Account Manager. He joined Wind River at just 24 in 2007 to work with some of Europe's top robotics and telecoms manufacturers, integrating customised open-source packages and providing customer service to tailor Wind River Linux and VxWorks to customer specs. Mark also demonstrates Wind River Linux to device design teams that are considering going Open Source in their next project. Plus he's unstoppable on the rugby pitch!
