How does MontaVista Linux 6 differ from other offerings in the market?
Other competitors create board support packages ( BSP) which introduce the minimal set of changes necessary to run their horizontal products on a new hardware platform. Developers quickly find themselves on an island isolated from their semiconductor partner’s valuable Linux technology and the open source community at large. Only MontaVista engineers its product to be feature compatible with the respective semiconductor partner Linux distributions. With this new Market Specific Distribution (MSD) approach, developers can take a step forward to MontaVista’s embedded Linux commercialization benefits rather than a step off a cliff. Only MontaVista has the technology to build MSDs with this degree of market specific customization. MontaVista then empowers customers, via our Integration Platform, to use MSDs and introduce their own customizations that sculpt their finished product.
