A Developer's Review Of Red Hat's Embedded Dev Kit

An Anonymous Coward writes: "This article is the third in LinuxDevices.com's new series of reviews, by software developer Jerry Epplin, of Embedded Linux toolkits. In order to gain insight into the use of each toolkit from the developer's perspective, Epplin builds Embedded Linux OS images for three different x86-based EBX form-factor single board computers using each toolkit. Each of the toolkits is then evaluated against a common set of criteria which include ease of use, overall toolkit architecture, methods of package management, diversity of platform support, and openness of the source code. In this installment, Epplin takes a close-up look at Red Hat's recently announced Embedded Linux Developer Suite."

Never tried it before...

I've never been on a project that was really suited to embedded LINUX before, but I can definaitely see applications for it (esp. net intensive stuff). Sad to see the Red Hat documentation was spotty, but that's (unfortunately) par for the course in the embedded world (at least in the commercial area).

Would've liked to see benchmarks and/or memory footprints on the stuff the reviewer built in the review, though...

Eeewww!!!

Gods I hope they shot the 'designer' who unleashed this horror [linuxdevices.com]. I take it they don't put that in the promo screenshots.
Shiver, shiver. Run Away!!!
