Prognosticator, I went to the Embedded Conference on Wed. Besides Linux, ECOS was another free OS. But one problem with these free OSes is tool support; GDB just doesn't cut it. Wind River was the clear leader. A revolutionary debugging tool I saw was Live Code from Applied Microsystems. It allows programmers to add code to the target without recompiling and redownloading. It also offers advanced tracing capability that eliminates the break_point_setting_and_single_stepping method. This not only makes debugging MUCH easier, but also A LOT faster. As of right now, Live Code only runs on PowerPC and Tornado. Without any knowledge on how Live Code works, my guess is that hardware support is required. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that Applied Microsystems told us that Live Code is used for the Dolphin development. (Dolphin is the next generation Nintento game console.) If Live Code only runs on Tornado, does this mean Dolphin is using VxWorks? As for Java, I still don't think it is ready. Even the people at the SUN booth didn't know much about JVM and KVM. A co-worker of mine saw something called CHIVE (spell??) from HP as a flavor of embedded JAVA. (With so many versions of Java, the original purpose of Java is defeated.) Microsoft had a big booth promoting both CE and NT. But they don't have the type of developer support that Tornado has. From a investing standpoint, I think WRS is poised for major growth in the next few years. Fidler recently spoke to the SJ Mercury News that WRS will grow to a billion dollar company in 4 years. This requires a 75% growth rate. I am not sure if WRS can grow that fast, but there is enough potentials to see how Fidler came up with this statement. I am buying more WIND. Khan
