It is no secret that Linux has won the race in the embedded device marketplace. Tremendous advantages in Linux have broken almost every barrier to entry for using Linux on embedded systems across a wide variety of processor architectures. Today's developers are not asking, “Should I use Linux for my embedded system?”, but instead are asking questions like, “How can I get more performance out o
