Sony Products That Run Embedded Linux

Posted by timothy on from the run-linux-run dept.

tbirdsaw writes "I was browsing for information on how to run Linux on the PS2 without a Linux Kit (they've stopped selling them in the U.S., AFAIK). While searching, I stumbled across Sony's Open Source Code website. They have quite a few products that run an embedded linux system, including some professional video switchers (MVS8000?) and at least several of their relatively new XDCAM disc-based video format decks. Might make for some hardware/firmware hacking in the near future?"

    But that would involve me buying a Sony product. Not something I'm likely to do again any time soon.

    Linux embedded
    gets my juices flowing
    knowing I'm hacking
    while movies are showing
    typing one-handed
    makes me want to sing
    Knowing I'm doing my favorite things!
